As of January 14th, my fiancee was approved for her visa! Sorry for the late post, but I've been busy with work and the overall excitement we all having now. :D

She said she only was in there for 15 minutes and the man asked her very easy questions.

1) How did you meet your fiance?
2) When is the last time you met your fiance?
3) When and where will you have the wedding?
4) Does your fiance have any children?
5) What is her name?
6) Does she like you?

She said she was so happy and thanking the man, she could not wait to tell me the good news. I feel so calm now that this part is over and now I just wait for her to come here to America. I suggested she wait until after Tet holiday and spend some time with her family before she comes here. So that will be about February 26-27th. I want to thank everyone for their help and those who have shared their experiences with their journey. Woohoo!!! :D

I think I'm looking at a CC next Monday. I'm curious about the current state of HCMC US Consulate. What was your timeline like from the CC date? How many days till you received interview date?
