Hi everyone!

We got approved today and it was the single most anti-climatic experience ever! Was last to be interviewed, saw everyone prior to me get denied *VERY scary!* The interview lasted literally like 5 minutes, the later half of which the CO spent typing away on the computer. :rofl:

Here are the questions I got asked incase anyone wants them!

1. What is your fiance's name?

2. When was he born?

3. What is his mother's name?

4. Where does he work now? (He doesn't at the moment and they knew that since we submitted the affidavit of support, so I think he was testing me)

5. How many times have you visited the US?

6. How many times have you visited the US to visit his family?

7. Have you met his family?

8. How many times have we met in person?

9. Where in the US does he live?

10. What is it like in that part of the US? (My fiance lives in Ft. Lauderdale)

11. How long have you been together?

12. Why did you wait so long before deciding to get married? (We have been in this LDR thing for 6.5 years)

That was when he stopped asking questions and started typing away at his computer. HE DIDN'T EVEN LOOK AT THE MOUNTAIN OF EVIDENCE I BROUGHT ALONG HAHAHAHA! I'm almost upset that I didn't get to use all those explanations I've worked up in my mind :lol: In fact, he didn't even TOUCH it :wacko: (When I say mountain, I mean mountain haha! It was like 5 inches thick of evidence in that sense, I basically frontloaded them... if they had gone through the documents :P )

Then he turned to me and was like, "Oh btw, your visa is approved!"

All the best to those with interviews soon! Be confident and smile!!

Congrats. Yeah the approvals always seem to be anti-climactic. Ours certainly was and they only looked at pictures and the EOR. 30 minute interview to ask 5 questions, one of which they had no way of knowing the answer (what's his favorite food)
