Hello Everyone,

I am so excited to let you all know that my visa was approved yesterday. Please find below a link to my earlier post.

Thanks to all those who took time to respond to my post,

Bismark, Jahk18, NigeriaorBust, P.A@2013(Tony), Tosh Love, Kari18, Ryan H, Closed-11-03-13-2 e.t.c.

I was interviewed by a new CO who only asked me 2 questions, while she asked my fiancé about 5. My fiancé went to the window with me this time as advised by Kari18.

One issue that came up was the fact that, the person who invited me for my B2 lived in the same city with my fiancé at the time. But he insisted to the CO that he didn't know her. They went back and forth about the MD, DC, VA area and proximity of some cities, blah, blah, blah.

She finally said our information was sufficient and that my Visa will be ready next week. My blue slip in hand, the moment was surreal.

Congratulations Dear!!!!dancin5hr.gif

Love is a gift and not to be earned, therefore one should never hold any regrets for giving love regardless of the outcome...
