approved! It is time for me to get up for work anyhow....I am going to be SO tired today!! It was interesting because I was on the CEAC website and at 919am (UK time) the site updated to to today's date. I do believe that is when he was called up to the window for the first time. My heart nearly jumped out my chest! I sat up erect in bed. He called me with results about his interview. He said it lasted about three minutes, was a quick chat. Quick overview. He said: "I was interviewed by a Caucasian young female (about 25 years of age)." She asked, " So how did you meet your fiancé?" he responded. she then asked, "when did you see your fiancé?" he explained when he flew over to US to see me for the first time and how my family flew to meet him. CO's last question was "So why are you moving there and she not here?" He explained I am working on finishing my adv nursing degree and for him it is just a small sacrifice for now and after I finish we will go from there." CO said, "Sounds good to me!, I'll approve you." He said, "Ok! Thank you!" she kept his passport and that was it. LOL He cracks me up! Time to get some breakfast and prepare for work

Thanks! :D

I promised my Mum I'd stay for my birthday, which is the 13th April, so I'll be flying out the week after that on April 20th. I just can't wait to get my passport back then get the flight booked, then it'll feel official!

Oooh, congrats! Bet it feels great to have it in your hand at last! Not long to go before you jet off :). How long did it take from when your CEAC changed to Issued to get the email?

good luck everyone! Unfortunately I won't see my fiancé until a week or two before our wedding but, it will go so fast and all be worth it. We are having our actual wedding this summer in Florida so, should be great!

I'm sure it'll fly by. I updated my profile yesterday and couldn't believe it's been 6 months since I began this process, 7 months away from him so far! Crazy.
