We got approved today! Thanks everyone for your help!

 

Had my appointment at 2 PM, arrived at 1:40 PM and got through security.
 

Around 2 PM, I was called to the first window. Since there's apparently a new CEAC system, I was told I was their test subject as I was the first to go through it at this embassy. So it took a while for them to check that all the documents were there, and they weren't sure whether they needed the originals or not. They did take them as well as the medical results. 
Fingerprints were also taken there. All of this took about 30 minutes.

 

Then I waited a bit more and was called to a second window for the interview. Swore that everything in our file was the truth then was asked a few questions:
- Who's in the US?
- How did you meet?
- When did you get married?

- What does he do?
- Does he have kids?
- Have you ever lived together?

 

Didn't ask to see any paperwork or pictures. After that, the officer made me sign a paper saying I knew we had to apply for ROC in two years and gave me a copy.

 

The officer then checked the affidavit of support and tax returns. He then was confused about what documents to keep with the new system and asked a colleague who told him to give me back everything but the medical.

 

Lastly, he said that'd I should get my passport in a week and wished me good luck in the US! 

 

So happy this is almost over! Exactly on the anniversary of us sending the petition!

congratulations

I had the interview this morning and got approved. Thank you all for your support over the last year. What a journey.

 

It definitely helped me to read all your advice. I am even more surprised that I really didn't get many questions asked - it was more like a conversation. The consular officer didnt want to see any additional documents such as pictures, letters, emails, text messages or anything at all. She asked me

 

1. where and when we met for the first time

2. Which year (I had only mentioned the month and date not year)

3. When was the last time I had seen him

4. She asked me how many biological children I had

5. If they wanted to come along (my husband did not petition them because they do not want to come for now - they don't like to move and keep saying that they want to wait until my husbands military career is over)

6. She commented that "this must be tough for you"

7. She asked me how the stepchildren and my son and daughter get along

8. She asked me how old they are.

 

I believe that is it. The hardest part was the wait time of almost two hours between handing over the original documents and the interview.

 

But I was totally nervous. The guy in front of me could not get approved now (I am not sure what happened). And I made my daughter one year older by accident as she is. Her and I were talking about her upcoming new school year and all the excitement laying ahead with her 9th birthday being part of it. Next thing you know is that I made her a year older than she should have been. I can totally see how people start forgetting things and mixing up dates and numbers alone. Although the visa was approved, I would have much preferred my husband to be there with me but he couldnt leave.

 

Oh -I forgot the link under which one can upload the documents and track the status. What happens next? How do I find out when I will get the passport back? 

 

 

Congratulations
