It is O.K to be nervous. But you will be fine. Just keep eyes contact and answers all of their questions short and clearly. Wish you will get the visa by the end of the journey.

best of luck. Don't forget an update about that. I'm curious what they would asking on the interview list...blush.gif

Yeah, I am also curious about that. Now, for a K-1 (Fiance) I can understand the rationale for having a formal interview to verify certain information regarding the relationship... how a couple met, etc... - but for a married couple?... if there is sufficient proof of marriage then I'm wondering what is the point of an interview? (I guess perhaps to just check & make sure it's not a sham marriage arrangement just to get someone to the U.S.).

Well, anyway.... Best wishes to you! :yes:
