Okay Details, Details, Details!

He arrived at 7:40am for his 8:00am appointment. Approaching the Embassy he said there were many people waiting, at least 30-40 people outside. He went through a security check outside and then proceeded to an outside office that took his passport and the inviation to interview letter. This man was quiet friendly and they joked back and forth. This man then gave to my honey a small blue piece of paper that said he was there for the Lottery Visa, so Farid had to hand it back for a correction. After that he proceeded towards the inside of the Embassy where he then again had another security check. Passing through the machine and leaving behind his cell phone he then went to a counter to pay for the visa. The cost was 950DH, they took the small blue piece of paper, hole punched it, gave him a reciept for his payment and he went into the waiting room. He said there were even more people inside the waiting room. Total amount of people was 50-60. Most for Lottery Visa, about 20 for marriage visa. Okay after everyone finished paying for their visas and all were inside this waiting room an american woman came out and addressed everyone there saying Good Morning..and explaining the finger print machine. Then she left and soon after Farid was called by name to give them his papers..the police check, birth certificate, two DS-156, copy of certificate of marriage...everything with translation. After handing them in he took his seat and waited. The interviews started. At around 10:15am his name was called and he went to the window. He said the consulate was an american woman with green eyes and blonde hair. She spoke english to him and started by asking him to give his left index finger ..then his right index finger for the machine to take his finger print. She then explained to him what signing the DS-156 meant...that everything he stated on the paperwork is true..and he's swearing to it by his signature. Then she ask her first question:

1.) How old are you?

2.) How old is your wife?

3.) How did you meet your wife?

4.) What is her job?

5.) Has your wife been married before?

6.) Does she have any children?

7.) What are thier ages?

8.) What do you use for talking?

9.) Did she (me,his wife) visit you?

10.) When exactly?

11.) Did she bring any family with her?

12.) Did you get married her 1st visit?

13.) What's your job?

14.) How much do you make?

At this point Farid offered to show her a photo of his work..and she said, "no no I believe you." She closed the file and said OK Mr. ** I will call you in 2 weeks. He said "2 weeks?" She said, " everything is fine and I believe you. " He then said, "please my wife is waiting for me what should I tell her?" she answered "tell her everything is good we need to send this paper to Washinton city and it takes some time to get it back , sometimes up to 15 days. " He was preparing to leave and gathered his things but before he stepped away asked her.."please can i ask you, what will you call me for?" and she looked surprised and answered "for your visa"

Farid thinks that she made a decision before she even heard his voice. Before she spoke to him she had already decided that we were OK. Personally I just feel ever so grateful it went as well as it did. We pray for all those waiting that it's a smooth interview for you as well.

Oh my goodness! The I-130 hasn't moved in 2 months! Well "something" happened...that was an RFE for the copy of his passport photo page. Now that's kinda frustrating cause I sent them a copy of his passport photo page with the DS-230 package they recieved July 31st. So here it is September 24th. still no "complete"..they recieved the returned RFE Sept 12. I've been calling NVC everyday to check but since yesterday the phone number just keeps coming up with a busy signal. I'm hoping they're just doing some major updating!! LOL But we still have another week to 2 weeks to wait for the K3 visa to be in his hand. The plan is if there is a date set for interview on the CR1 before he's ready to leave..we'll postpone his departure and he'll stay to interview..but if there is nothing set..MY BABY'S COMING HOME LOL Woooo HOOOOOOO
