My wife went for her interview yesterday for a CR1 visa. At the end of the interview, They told her everything was fine, and to come back Tuesday to pick up her papers. They did keep her passport. I think my wife was expecting to hear the words "approved" but she didnt get them. I dont think they would hav kept her passport and told her to come back so quickly if there were any thing wrong. This embassy returns passports the following day with visa inside, but we have the weekend to get through.

She recieved the visa, and all of the supporting evidence that I sumbmitted at the USCIS stage. I wasn't aware that USCIS would send the evidence to the consulate. I could have saved $280.00 in Fedex fees sending an exact replica with additional evidence dated 10 days until 10 days from the interview date. But its over now and we are happy about that.
