Nervous Feeling

Yea thats why my fiance and I haven't booked his ticket either since we still have to get passed the interview next week...praying & crossing fingers he will do just fine smile.png plus i wasnt sure how long they give the visa but I do plan for my fiance to be here by the end of september. do you think that would be a possibility?

Oh we are all having the GREAT ANTICIPATION of getting our VISA sooner.... hehehe...

Reading positive reviews of those who received their visa in 3 business days is inspiring. But I always tell my Fiance let's not over do it. My motto has been always "Less expectations, less disappointments". It would be awesome if we will all be receiving it within a week, however the normal waiting time is 2 weeks or worst more than that!

But let us all claim the Positive Vibes! innocent.gifkicking.gifyes.gif .

That should be the correct attitude anc mindset..."less expectation, les disappointment" or "hope for the best but expect the worst".

You know I envy those applicants who has their partners by their side! But I realize if my partner will be here he'll be annoyed with all my nervousness HAHAHA!! The day of my interview while waiting for the last interviewer (American CO), I felt all the biological factors, bowel movement, frequent pee, nausea, dizziness, shakiness, and everything lol. It was funny but the moment when I was called, the American lady who interviewed me was really nice and all the nervous were GONE!

Can anyone recommend a good hotel to stay at? One that actually has free wifi since most of these hotels are liars. Had 2 bad experiences where we stayed in a hotel only to find out that we have to pay to use the wifi.

Good luck to you also :) I will be praying that you both get approved. How much is it in Bayview Park Hotel? He stayed at Tune Hotel for his Medical & CFO last week and really liked it which is like maybe 2-3 blocks away from the USEM. He isn't nervous at all & feels very confident but I am getting so nervous though that the Consul he might get will be someone who is very strict. Hope you see my fiance there. Good luck again and keep me posted :)

Thanks! My fiance was like I will just think of it as going on a job interview except this one I'll be sure to get hired. lol. My fiance is all calm while I am the one getting nervous for him and I am not the one going on the interview...hahaha. I am hoping that the American CO will not be strict. Will keep you guys posted on how it went next week :)
