Congratulations !!

I was wondering when they ask where you will be living in the US ~ are they asking state or full address???

Thank you

I'm going to write a full review but the questions he asked were:

- how long have you known your husband?
- how did you meet him?
- how do you communicate?
- can he speak German (because I lived in Germany for a long time and am bilingual)?
- how long were you in Germany for?
- what did you do there?
- where will you be living in the USA?
- how is your joint sponsor known to you?
- are you fully aware of all the details of your husband's criminal record?

Then he asked about my parents and how long my father worked overseas and in which countries.

He asked when I planned to move and I told him I have a job offer for a position that starts in January. He asked about the job (name of the company and job role).

Then he said he had to make some notes.

He typed for a while. Then he said he has approved my visa.

Yes it was an odd question. I was thinking if to myself "does it matter?" On the I-130 you give an address where you intend to live and in London you give an address where you intend to live at the medical. I think he wanted to check I was still going to live at that address. Edited by JFH

I would say that's a good indicator that they have kept his passport based on the experience of many here. There are some also that would be called for a second interview if this is it then probably your chances is higher given the new evidences presented.

I hope to see it being issued but a second interview is highly positive outcome as well. all the best for your case. will pray for you..

Thanks! The best to you as well.

Good luck with getting an earlier interview. If you don't ask, you don't get!

I mean how can u know the adress where u never been :( so hard for me to understand

LOL I know... Fortunately I have been to the address many times but still... My feelings are 'does it matter where I live?'. I mean, this process grants us permanent residency upon arrival. We are then free to move around the country as we wish. There's no rule that says you must live here or there.

Maybe he couldn't think of any other question!
