HI everyone,

you guys are so sweet and i'm thankful to have you because i don't know how i am going to get through this.....

WAITING 2-6 WEEKS FOR AP!!!! We were APPROVED!!! Praise God for this! Thanks you ladies (you know who you are) for stopping by last night and especially for the troopers who I fell asleep on lolololol. He was given the paper that he requires additional admin processing and the Officer smiled and said 'half congratulations,' as soon as this is complete they will call him for his passport!

He experience was typical. Except they didn't like the 'passport-sized photo' he had they said it was 1/2 centimeter to big lol. So he ran outside to get 2 new ones made. He had tons of proof some she looked at BUT I am 99% they had reviewed our case in great detail because she had the pictures from our k1 packet and asked him about them. Interestingly she specifically asked him about my ex husband and if he was sure he would take care of me and not hurt me the say "A" did. I was shocked. That also tells me she read my waiver (because I'd filed once before in my lifetime) and my k1 packet because I put it all in writing upfront. The other two strange questions were, what is the name of my son's friends and his teacher's name. At the end of the interview she smiled and said I believe you and she made my fiance take the oath. Ladies, if you have any prior marriages/red flags, I cannot stress how important it is that you and your man really know each other in/out. She asked just 2 or 3 other questions, that would not have been answered had he not known my childhood situation with my parents, etc.

Now we hang out for AP to clear, she said 2-6 weeks. I got a feeling it will only take the 2 weeks, but either way we are thankful to God we got approved. My fiance also says thank you to the ladies from the slumber party last night. He thought it was really sweet the way we supported each other. I'm taking off today to catch up on some rest and put my nerves back in order. My attention can now shift to losing these last 5 pounds i need to in order for my wedding dress to fit perfect!

oh and p.s. she commented on how neat our packet he brought to the interview was - she asked him who helped him with it - he said he and I did it together (more like ME did it together lolol, but I let him take some credit - heck he got through the interview).

thanks again all!

Hi Prena,

I am praying that time will fly for you and Layth and he will have his visa before you know it. This is only a delay, not a denial so the news is still good.

I believe that God will work out every detail for you.

They asked my husband some very intimate questions as well. They ask questions that will either prove or disprove the relationship.

Just use this time to get some well deserved rest; to continue to work towards your goals, and to finalize your wedding plans.

Enjoyed hanging out with you last night.

CONGRATS PRENA!! I HOPE HE GETS HERE SOON!!! I WAS SURPRISED ABOUT THE QUESTIONS ABOUT KNOWING YOUR CHILD'S FRIENDS NAME. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT???LOL

Thanks be to God that you are half approved I can only pray your AP is a speedy one. May the first security check be all the need, since that one seems to go really fast!

[Together4ever 1]

Congratulations to you both! Your AP will breeze by faster then you think. Then you'll be scrambling to ready yourself for your reunion!

Congrats Prena!! (had no idea that was your name, ms. lioness!!)

You are correct when you caution future couples to make sure they share everything, even the things they feel are insignificant or they don't want to talk about. Those are the areas the COs seem to focus on!!

WTG, Prena! Your husband will get through this ap real quick. Can't wait till her gets here and ur finally together.
