It was "first come first served" basis at the interview. I will prepare a detailed report for you all. She was in there from 8:24am till 11:40am mostly to hurry up and wait. The interview took about 5 minutes and it appears to be pre-determined. She got the pink slip and was told to come back for the visa at 4:00pm today (the same day) her time. Thanks God for his blessing on us and thanks to you all for your wonderful help and support throughout this process. We feel like we just won the lottery. Yeee.........................................................ees !!!!

May God bless you all, too...

Great news and congratulations !!!

If she arrived at 8:30 and waited about 3 hours, did she turn in her packet at 8:30 or directly before the interview. I understand the paperwork is turned in first while you wait and wait ... but your posting did not describe that detail clearly. Thanks !

Congratulation!

Can you provide a detail report on how you prepare your paper work and what kind of questions that they asked her? I guess she will celebrate the New Year before coming to the state. You should go back and enjoy the New Year!

I have been interviewing her for the last 3 hours and working on a report for all of you. However, she got tired and just went to bed which is 1:30am her time now. So I am still working on it and I will finish it up when she wakes up in about 4-5 hours from now. I am trying to get as much info from her as possible for our benefits.

There is one update; even though she was instructed by the video to come back to get her visa the same day at 4:00pm but it was not true. When she came to get the visa, she was told that it will be ready on Thursday 1/25 instead. The interviews seem to be conducted in the morning only and the visas are usually given out 2 days later. There were no visas being given on 1/23. She then rechecked her pink slip and it was written 1/25 with the "5" looking almost like a "3". So we are very close but not quite there yet.
