What's the good word?

Approved!!!! I had written a little bit earlier but didn't have a chance to recap fully. First of all, really thankful to God and everyone here for their prayers and wishing everyone else quick approval as well!

So hubby's interview was at the London embassy at 1 pm today. He got there around 45 min earlier and went in. It was a pretty straight forward interview. He was texting me when he could, letting me know he had firstly submitted the docs asked for at the first window which included DS confirmation, police report, birth cert and confirmation of how he wanted his documents to be returned. Then he waited to be called up for his interview. He got around 6 or 7 questions about how we met, when we got married and towards the end it was cute because they CO asked him what annoyed him most about me and vice versa lol...I hadn't heard of such a questions before but he said the CO was smiling when he asked and it was all really pleasant. Hubby went on about our relationship lol and CO was like, ok ok you're approved lol.

So a couple of interesting things hubby shared with me that I wanted to share with you guys. He was handed the packet to bring with him when he lands in the states before he even had his interview (which means the decision was already made) and the other is that he wasn't asked to pay for his visa b/c I believe I had paid that fee to NVC already but wasn't sure so he had taken money but it turns out I did pay it....gosh its hard to keep track of everything and maybe I'm rambling but I was just soooooooooooooooooo happy to get that call that I've been waiting for, for literally everrrrr.

Thank you God and praying for the rest of you guys too. Oh and he was told he would get his passport back in two weeks, but I'm hoping it's sooner since everyone else seems to be getting it back within a week:)

Thank you so much Rosegrove! And good luck on yours, you're going to be posting about your approval in no time!!!

On another note, I do have a quick question. After getting approved earlier today, I just checked the CEAC site and status still shows "Ready" with last updated as "June 9th"....should I be worried? I assumed the status would read "AP" at this point until getting issued....does anyone know how long it takes for the status to change after approval from "Ready" to the next step? I would really appreciate any feedback on that

Congratulations on your husbands approval! Question: what made you think you had to still pay for the visa? Do they send you a letter letting you know if there's anything that has to be paid at the interview?

APPROVED

Thank you to all of you on VJ who have been very supportive and helped provide so much information to make this long process go as smoothly as possible and help out with those few hiccups here and there! For those of you still waiting for your interviews, the wait is hard, but the results are so rewarding!

LinJoe you are next!

My husband's interview was scheduled at 8:45 AM. The whole process took about 2 to 2.5 hours. He said it was a pleasant experience with the majority of the time waiting in the waiting area for his turn. The total interview time was about 5-10 minutes.

He was asked:

-How did we meet and when?

-What was the connection that led us to meet or introduced us to each other?

-Why did we get married in Cyprus?

-Why have we not registered our marriage in Lebanon?

-Where do we plan to have our religious Church marriage, in Lebanon or USA?

He had lots of evidence with him from pictures to trip itineraries, boarding passes, a joint bank account statement, printed WhatsApp conversations from the day we met to present time, etc. The CO only asked to see pictures and he said she didn't even look at them, she just wanted to verify that he had them with him.

After all of the questions were answered, my husband asked the CO if it's approved and she said, "yes, of course!" She then wrote up the slip for him to come back and pick up his passport and he was on his way!
