So, my wife had her interview today at the Belize consulate in Belmopan. After finding out I did not have to be present she went and did it alone( for a CR1 visa, don't know about K1), which means I'll fly down next week and we'll fly back home together!

She said the interview was really good, only four simple, basic questions.She said he was super nice. They didn't ask for anything, not even our wedding pictures. I'm guessing it was because we had adequate evidence to begin with, but who knows.

Keep in mind our case was expedited at the last moment, right when we finished the NVC due to some hardship issues that came up suddenly.This basically just got our interview date pushed up. So it still took us a good 264 days to get through the process with a ton of roadblocks. But a couple things i learned is:

1.never complain because some one always has it worse than you, or has waited longer. Many people wait longer than we have, so the way I see it we are blessed!

2. Always spend time on your packets,get the dates right and follow the directions. make the evidence balanced, not too much, not too little.

3. Visa Journey is awesome, We wouldn't have made it these past 10 months without it! So THANKS!

4. And last but not least, if you have faith and trust in God, He will never let you down, ever!
