Visa Approved biggrin.png

Got there at 7:30am for my 8:30 interview and there was already a queue formed. Took about 30 minutes to get through the queue and security and into the embassy. Then took about another 30 minutes before I went to the first window and handed over my forms and passport. This first bit took about 5-10 minutes.

Then another 30 minute wait until I was called for my interview, which again lasted 5-10 minutes. Was asked how we met, if I had met her parents, where she worked, and when we started talking about marriage and that was it. Then another 10 minute wait in line to pay for the courier.

So all in all it took just over 2 hours, even though today the embassy was REALLY busy.

Now to tie up all the loose ends here in the UK and finish planning our 31st August wedding smile.png

WOOHOO CONGRATULATIONS!!! KEEP US POSTED WITH WEDDING PICTURES XO

Good luck with the interview on the 29th!!!!!

We will be going through the same thing very soon. I am nervous but Francis is not which is a good thing!!

He's right not to be nervous. Personally I was a bit nervous but that was before I received all the documents that they requested, as long as you have everything you need there's no reason to be concerned, I wrote a checklist of what I took to the interview earlier in the thread if that's of any help at all.

Maybe I was lucky but I didn't receive a grilling at all, my interviewer was really sweet and nice and we even shared some laughs!

Thanks to everyone for your congratulations, it's a big weight off my shoulders now just excited to receive my package from the courier :D
