Just got back to the hotel from the Montreal embassy--my wife's interview was simple and quick. I'll write up a longer review tomorrow when I'm back in the States. Whole thing lasted 2 hours from security check-in to interview.

Good luck to everyone with interviews coming up!

Our first anniversary was January 1st. I was just happy we got to spend it together, I see many other couples who are much further apart and my heart aches for them. I am glad us, and so many others are so close to being done with this! It is not for the faint of heart, that much is true.

The medical he made, they didn't say anything about passport photos. I told him every place I read people had stated they brought them. I'm just having bad anxiety lately and I'm over thinking things out of fear that I am not 100 percent prepared. I can't wait for this to be over...lol

He should call and ask what is needed at medical. Every country every doctor has their on list of things. My husband called the clinic in Lagos and they wanted hm to bring a copy of his bio-page, the interview letter and 6 passport pics.

I know they need at lest 1 to attach to the record. So have him call the doctor so he brings ll they require.

Good evening everyone and Frank, sending me all good wishes! I`m approved ))))

I have just come home from a long trip and I had a bad internet in Moscow so I couldn`t write you or even read posts properly so had to wait till I can use my own computer. Though I was extremely nervous and brought 4 folders of papers and originals and photos, I wasnt asked to show any of it. I had to wait more then 2 hours before I was called to the window - families with screaming bored young kids were invited before quiet adults sitting in silence. So CO just looked at me very friendly and paid all attention to me, without looking at monitor or typing. She asked me just a few questions (she started to speak Russian with me but I switched into English somehow and she didnt correct me and we continued talking in English):

- Tell me your story, how did you meet?

- What does your husband do in USA?

- How many times did he visit you?

- What are you going to do in USA, what positions you can take to work?

I was too talkative I think, there was so much to tell about our story (we lived in Russia together for three years) and I jumped from one thing to another and she didn`t ask anything really serious. I even brought new tax form from my sponsor and I offered her to have new papers but she refused. I thought for a second she got tired of listening to me ))))) She told me I was approved and gave me a paper saying how to pay GC payment and my status on CEAC site almost immediately turned to ISSUED (Your visa has been printed). I also checked passport delivery and it said that my passport was at Pony Express getting ready to be delivered.

I`m exhausted and I can barely feel joy but I`m definately relieved! Going to have a peaceful night sleep!!!!

Good luck to everyone that are going to have their inteviews. Thanks for help and support from people on this site and I hope we can meet in USA someday )))

awwww awesome. congratulations. I love interviews like this. Okay rest. :goofy:
