Hi fellow visa hunters!

Just had my visa interview at the US embassy this morning. All in all, took about 3 hours from queuing to leaving but I got the all important approval! Now the waiting game begins; let's hope I can get my visa in time to fly out for Christmas with my soon-to-be wife!

I've learned so much from VJ over the last few months of lurking and occasional posting and really value the support, advice and anecdotes on the website. I will write a review of my experience when I get a second away from work, but in the meantime, if anyone has any questions or wants me to go into depth about our whole process, I'll happily answer any questions as best I can.

Wow yeah I remember you guys from yesterday's post. I had it sent to a depot rather than home delivery as I heard it could be a few days faster?

That second line really resonates because it's so true. Both my fiancee and I were really methodical in our approach to the whole process and the consular officer even seemed to indicate we would be approved before she even started asking me questions. But even then, there's still a tiny doubt that is only assuaged when they say "you're approved." Or at least that was the case for me/us! Thanks for the wishes as well - I went to uni in Brum!

Well this will be a good comparison as we requested for home delivery.

Definitely keep us in the loop as to when you receive your docs back. :)
