BINATIONAL SAME SEX COUPLES !! Show up!

[Davesings 30]

I received the letter from the NVC today, telling me what I already knew thanks to Visa Journey, the case is being sent to London. It also says my fiance should go ahead and complete the DS-160 online. I had thought we were supposed to wait for a letter from the embassy about that, so this should speed up the process! I hope! It's nice to see this on paper in black and white!

We had our interview for the K-1 at the Sydney Consulate today, and got a 221g as the NZ police cert we submitted was not the way they obtain them now. Other than that, the process was very smooth and everyone was very friendly. Will submit a review later, but the questions were the same as others reporting - nothing unusual!

Do it. We pasted screenshots into Word of the FB wedding announcement and friend's comments as well as the private messages we sent to close family and friends.

Fiancé had his medical today in London. He said it was very quick and easy since he had all the required papers. They will send the results to the embassy in four days and then we wait for the interview!

We had our AOS interview yesterday and got approved on the spot! We received confirmation of the approval today, green card is in production! So happy! We can finally breathe!

The IO was a lady in her late 20s, she was very friendly and nice. She did ask for details on how we went from friendship to a romantic relationship, how many times we met before we started dating, who proposed, how and when, and details about the wedding. She didn't treat us any differently, the only mention of us being a same sex couple was when she asked why my wife's parents and sister didn't fly to New York (we live in California) with us for the wedding, we explained that my wife's grandmother was sick and at the hospital and that her aunt and uncle didn't know about us being together at the time, so if they (parents and sister) had come along, it would have seemed weird for them to "take a vacation" while the grandmother was sick,.since they were hiding our wedding from the rest of the family (at the time they didn't even know we were in NY, the grandmother just thought we stayed home and didn't want to visit her for 4 days while everyone else came daily...). That we didn't tell them then because they had a yes on prop 8 and "one mom, one dad makes a family" bumper stickers on their cars. The IO agreed that it really sucked. Since then, we did tell them about our marriage (a couple of months ago) and they are surprisingly totally fine with it. Anyway, that was it (I wrote a detailed review in another topic)
