As much as I've tried to prepare, it's still a bit nerve-wracking to know that after 10 months of being separated from the person I love most in this world, it all comes down to a complete stranger's perspective/mood/opinion as to whether or not my husband and I will finally be together again....

The documents are complete. The evidence is abundant. We are deeply in love. But I'm still scared to death.

I would probably die right there in the Embassy if we were denied. I so want this nightmare to end.

Any advice/suggestions/recommendations would be greatly valued, I assure you!!!

Thanks to all.

Tracy

Well Tracy we are in the same boat.......All I do is dream about questions and I am just so on edge making sure we have the medical completed on time and all the forms. Have copies of everything. I am just sooo nervous............I feel the same way, our future lies on the hands of someone who's never met us. Talk about FIRST IMPRESSIONS lmao!!! :P:P

Lets try not to stress and plan other things. I planned to stay at a hotel the night of the interview. ( I know we are going to get approved) That way we can celebrate, plus we haven't been able to celebrate the new baby and the life of marrige. So thats what I'm concentrating on right now.............

I'll bring a nice bottle of wine and enjoy our day!!

Good Luck Tracy!

First off be relaxed and take a deep breath before your interview. In most cases they are relaxed and like talking to a friend not an interrogation. Try and relax and look forward to your good news.

Just relax, get there early and prepare to be in line for a little bit. Based on our experience and the experience of others there, it will go pretty quick. Having all of your paperwork ready to hand them makes it easy. Also, make sure your evidence will slide under the little window glass thingy that is there to protect them (think banker in a bad neighborhood). :)

Good luck!

Question: I received Packet 3/4 in the mail yesterday, and was pleased, surprised, and confused all at the same time. Is the USC suppose to receive Packet 3/4 from the Embassy as well? I've never heard of this happening. I thought the Embassy only sent Packets to the beneficiary :huh:

Is this normal?

yep, you get a copy too.

it just takes a while to get to you since they send it from the embassy. I didn't get mine until after I got home from the interview (it was waiting for me in my mail).

No worries...

RELAX!!!!!!!!!!

Actually....getting that Packet in the mail helped me to relax A LOT! I was so happy to have a copy. Now my mind is (almost) totally at ease and I am just so excited about seeing my husband in 5 days, I can hardly stand it :dance:(L):dance:

It was a very pleasant surprise.... :D

5 days? If Kathe reads that she will start to cry again, as we are currently at 84 days (2 months 24 days) before we are together again.

Glad it helped you to relax. Everything is easier when you have the papers in front of you versas over the phone isn't it? ;)
