The phone just rang. She gave the news I was waiting to hear. Visa approved. The interview itself was only about 2 minutes:

a. Who is calling you?

b. Love or arranaged marriage?

c. What does your husband do?

That's pretty much it.

The total time inside the consulate was less than 2 hours.

A huge thank you to everyone here at VJ. You have been like my very supportive family for almost the past year.

In particular I will be remiss if I do not mention Saylin, Kaylara, DWheels. You guys are awesome in everyway.

Congratulations!!! Wish you a very happy married life together :):)

Approved!!! My husband was approved this morning. He said he has too much paperwork. They didn't take our 2013 tax info and it was easier than he expected! They asked him how we met and when we go
