Hi Everyone - well here is the news some of you have been waiting for (but not as much as the wife and I) - We were APPROVED this morning at the London Embassy!!

It went so smoothly and efficiently I don't know why I was so anxious!! :dance: :dance::dance: Happy Dance Time!!! I was in and out within 45 minutes!

Here's a quick write up of what I remember and advise others to do!

Firstly - Ignore the time on your letter!! Mine was set for 08:30 but I got there at 7:05 and there was already 20 - 25 people in line. By 7:35 ish they were all set up and starting to check people in and let them through the security gate 4 at a time. I was through to the next reception area at 7:45 (that's the time on my ticket they attached to my interview letter) - I was I902 - the 2nd immigrate visa number issued that day!

I 901 was called at around 7:50 then a couple of N numbers then my number at 7:55 - I was called to window 13!! And to my relief I had the nice Afro-Caribbean lady that is regularly mentioned on these pages. She was wonderful and so helpful and calming!! She had me all sorted and sitting back down in the waiting area by 8:10 I guess! I then sat there and waited, maybe 15 minutes, and was then called to window 15 and A 40 ish year old male Vice-Consel introduced himself as the person that would be conducting my interview. He confirmed a few things and asked me easy straightforward questions:

Where we met and when? Which when I told him it was 28 years ago he was surprised and really interested!!

About our marriage and where and when?

When I hoped to fly out to the states and what I did in UK and what I was intending to do in the USA!

What does my Wife do and where/ how long has she worked there?

Do we have any Children?

Have I lived anywhere else - to which I told him I lived in Germany while serving in the RAF - we then proceeded to talk about my time in the Falklands (something he was really interested in as he spent time studying politics in Argentina a few years ago!!)

There may have been a couple more questions but that was the gist of it - to which he said your visa is approved. WHOO HOO!!!

I did ask at both windows how long it would take to get my passport back as due to them bringing my interview date forward and my step-son and I had a trip to Spain booked on the 15th - both of them told me it should be back well in time to leave on that trip!! Which is a relief!! I asked them both for their names so I could quote them on that and they both laughed!!! So hopefully it will be back in plenty of time!!

I them thanked him and had left the building by 8:50 and promptly called my wonderful wifey and woke her up with the great news!!

I will also say that there were approximately 180 - 200 people in the hall when I came back after the first window and when I got out of the embassy there were still about 80 people in the queue - so I can not re-iterate enough to get there as early as you can and hopefully like me you should be out of there by 8:50!!!

Hopefully this will help others - just hang in there - it will happen.

Best Wishes,

Chris & Silvia

PS - they are a lot more relaxed about what you can take into the embassy these days - I can confirm that phones are allowed but they must just be off while you are at the interview windows. And the guys who manage the process outside the building also stated that Ipads, tablets and the like are OK now as long as they do not have a keyboard attached to them they will be allowed through security.

Congratulations Chris and Silvia!! Posts like this one give us so much hope that this long journey is about to end. Thanks for sharing your experience, I'm very happy for you :goofy:

When we have the interview, is it better for both of us to be there or would it better for just my husband to go by himself?

I thought for DR interviews it was almost required for petitioner to be there?

And I've officially made it to the June thread!

hi all, i decided to disregard Ms Joy's advice to call back after May 19th since i didn't have an interview date as of yesterday morning and i called at night (to avoid Ms Joy, lol) 10 minutes to midnight and got the best news of the day...

interview date set for June 12th at 6.30 am for my daughter.. :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

Thank you all for the encouragement, for those waiting there is still hope and the interview date will be scheduled soonest for all of you. for those with their dates CONGRATS.

Now i need advice, can i book a ticket two way for me and one way for her back to US or do i do a one way there and another one way back with her? any ideas of the best sites to book flights?

Thanks VJ family, you guys rock.
