Visa Approved March 2012

[C <3 C 1]

Just thought I would quickly write down my experience for anyone wondering how the process may go, or how it did for me anyways

I arrived at the consulate at 7 30,there were already about 10 people in front of me, but many more came after. People are there for many different types of Visa's, so don't panic They let you in the doors one by one, the security is pretty no nonsense they are not there to fool around. Show them your stuff (have it ready) and move on. You will then wait in a waiting room, then go in an elevator to wait in another waiting room, after you get a number.

Disregard your number sequence.... your number comes up when it comes up, even if you were there first or your number was first. When I was called I had to sign and show different paperwork, was asked numerous questions, again as I had heard on here, there were no trick question, very straight forward. Took about 15-20 min, I think, hard to tell, at that moment every second feels long...... The man was very nice and patient, he even told me not to be nervous. When we were done he said I had to do my interview with a consulate officer and then we would be done.

I waited again for about 10 min, then my number came up, I went to the window, the kids and I had a short interview with a very nice friendly man, then he said you`re APPROVED!! Best day

So long story short, we started this in June 2011 we finally have our answer today (3 hours and 2 windows at the interview )
