Well, it's all over. All that hard work ended with a five minute interview with a US consular. I'm not going to post a five page experience on this because there are SO many on VJ now and frankly I'm really too tired too. :D

I will tell you though, if you have a chance to attend the interview with your fiancée, it is a great experience and it makes things a LOT easier.

Thank you to my first VJ friend Tintin and Mike :) for your support!

Thank you to Hank, Rob and Ann, DaveNRoxy and Tahoma for all the information you have put out there. Arming us with your knowledge made this whole process a LOT easier. Thanks again VJ and see you for AOS stuff!! :)

Time to start enjoying my vacation!!

Thank you! Good luck on your interview! Just remember to relax and take some deep breaths! It's not as hard as it is made out to be. You will get asked questions but you'll know the answers ;)

Congrats!

We got approved yesterday, as well... but what I found interesting was that in all the reviews I read about interviews, not a single person bothered to indicate that you are STANDING UP the entire time during both interviews!! wow.gif
