Wow soul_encounter that sounds pretty positive -- great recap ! Spending the extra money always sux, but for sure if you didn't send those affidavit of support forms, they would've be asking for it

You didn't mention if they issued him the standard 221g for administrative review -- did he receive one ?

Best of luck for a speedy finish and visa in hand very soon !

Great news! Both you and your SO must be thrilled!

I am a firm believer that you need to prepare for questions. I know for a fact if I didn't prepare for the question "what do you and your SO talk about", all I could think to say would be "just stuff". lol And I talk to him everyday!! I mean seriously, if your SO was here and you talked daily, why would you put much emphasis on remembering this? For heaven sakes, we talk about everything from how was your day to I have a pimple on my face. Okay, that is exaggerating a bit, but everyday conversations are usually not specific on anything, just conversation. And lets face it, some people are more into going into details about this, but some don't. Its not really a mater of how well you know each other, but rather your personality. Hopefully if someone drew a blank the CO wouldn't automatically assume the relationship is not real. Thats when the interviewer would be wise to ask to see some type of IM log.

Anyway, it is good to know, I will have to remember to tell my husband as well so he can prepare for his second interview.

Oh yes, did he get the standard 221g?

congrats! It sounds like their normal list of questions has changed some!

Big congrats! I'm off to explain to my fiance the meaning of the word petitioner! He is going to be so overwhelmed by the time of the interview! I wish I was there to help him!

I found some of the questions strange too really. When she was referring to everything "looking good" she was looking at the packet the attorney prepared. Not sure why it was good, but here is a rundown of the papers included:

Cover letter detailing everything included

New updated intent to marry letters (from both)

Phone records (not all just random dates)

The instruction sheet and interview date letter he received with his packet

DS-156, Nonimmigrant Visa Application (2 copies)

DS-156K, Nonimmigrant Fiance Visa Application

Then the sponsor stuff they never even looked at

That is it... Now new question

I felt positive about the interview rundown he gave me, and she said they would call him in a week to 2 weeks. But now that I have seen the scanned document I am worried it may be longer. No, we did not get the standard 221 (g) our sheet is marked

X Other: il y a un procedure adminitrative qui doit etre fait a washington avant de continuer. on va vous contacter par telephone.

Ok... I can't read french, but I have heard nightmare stories of extended AP

Can anyone elaborate? Is this the name check thing and will it really be over in a week or two?

Thanks

It says I think, that there is an administrative procedure that has to be done in Washington before continuing. and someone will contact you by phone. Sounds like it is the name check. Good luck and I hope it is not long before he has the visa in hand.

Meriem, how is life with hubby treating you???

I do believe it is the name/security check... my french is not great, but that's what I gathered from it... hopefully someone w/ better french skills (SARAH... where are you???) can translate for us! No worries - everything should be fine.

[StupidJourney 0]

Basically what is says is "there is an adminstrative procedure that must be completed in Washington before continuing. You will be contacted by phone." sounds like the name check AP thing people are talking about, so I wouldn't worry!

We got the same exact thing as you in French and got the visa less than 2 weeks after the interview. You can call DOS starting tomorrow to see if the checks are cleared. Don't worry, we had the same thing, and they wrote it in French cause he did his interview in French.

Sounds like his interview went very well and he was very well prepared. Best of luck on a quick approval. Our papers are on the way to Cairo right now so hopefully we will be looking for an interview date in a few weeks. We are both excited, scared and soooo happy to be moving on towards the end of this process. I will keep you in my prayers soul_encounter for a quick VISA IN HAND for your SO!!!!
