So happy for you guys! :dance: what a great relief it must be for you. Good Luck ...it can only get better from now on :)

Love hurts

When you live an ocean away

When you change your sleep schedule to catch a few more moments

When you really need to be held and you have to imagine whilst your partner describes it

When you constantly refresh the USCIS website to see if you're getting any closer

Love Loves

When it repays you with the love of your life

When God finally answered your biggest prayer

When you can live life again in the real world but still have that eternal connection

When you wake up for to the beginning of the rest of your life with the person you fought so hard for

When you love somebody that much

You'll do anything

Congrats!

Just wondering if your appt was at 10:30, how come you got there at 8:30? Or did it take you two hours to get to the window inside? Sorry to be a pain but we have an appt. at 9:00AM and will have a baby with us. We can't possibly be there 2 hours ahead, cause they're not even open yet, lol.

Someone else told me there were 2 lines, one for Immigrant Visa and NonImmigrant Visa but seems they did away with this...

I got there at 08:55 yesterday for my 09:00 and I stood in line for maybe 20 minutes tops. They divided the lines outside depending on appointment time so when I was there they let the 09:00 line go through before sorting out the next queue.

All in all the process took just under 2 hours from the time I arrived, to getting out of the building agian.

Inside you are given a ticket depending on the type of visa you are applying for. Generally there are less immigrant visa applicants, but certainly yesterday that was accompanied by very few windows doing the processing for them!

Hope this helps.

Helps a lot ty! I remember the line when I went to get the baby registered, its all in the same room. I must applaud the Embassy for being so quick with getting his SS # & passport. Kudos for fast service! :)

It's so wonderful to see everyone's Visa getting done & over with! So now its time for bright new beginnings.
