Hi guys and gals,

Just wanna let you know that my visa was approved today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance:

I kept checking all day yesterday and up to this morning and CEAC still showed AP.....at 1:10pm my husband IM'd me and then called me thru BBM....I missed both message and call as I was away from my office. I saw his missed call and then returned it thinking it was an emergency bcuz he doesn't have reason to call me....then he shouted THEY ISSUED THE VISAS BABE! :D

I literally stood in shock and started crying....words fumbling as I tried to calm myself and talk to my parents on the phone telling them the good news. My mom started crying too! :(

Thank you to all who gave encouraging words of comfort and support and thanks to God for granting me the patience thru this visa journey. I have learned a lot so that I am certain I can now guide others on their path thru visa success :)

Now to get prepared for the journey to Florida :dancing::dance:

What a journey! And let's thank God I dodnt have to buy a ticket to come help throw 'bows with you. Congrats my friend. You have been a trooper through this and I know you can't wait to join. Sometimes you just gotta keep fighting!

Thank you everyone for your support! I'll be posting a full review here shortly.

My husband said the interview was 15-20 minutes max. She didn't ask for any proof of relationship, except she did want to see a picture of us. He handed over all the pictures I sent him and she said they were very nice and colorful. :)

At the embassy i was told it happens automatically. Also got a leaflet with information on that. However i did read on here that it doesn´t work for everybody. So i asked the lady at the embassy if it would be better to check with the SSN office once i get stateside and she said it could not hurt. So in theroy - yes but better be safe than sorry ;-)

War Teacher, this has been answered numerous times on this forum, including 3 posts above your original question.

If you have not received your SSN two weeks after POE, then go, in person, to your local SSN office and apply.
