Just few hours ago, my wife called with happy news: she passed her interview. :dance: She went in at 7am and her appt. was at 8 am. The interview was pretty short. She was out by 9am. The CO asked just a few questions about us. We had lots of pics from our weddings, numerous vacations, and my 5 months stay over there. The translator and the CO chuckled when my wife pulled out the 800 pages chat logs. They just thumbed through it briefly. Thank you dead trees.

Oh, a lady at the IOM (the place that does the medical exam) gave my wife a scare Monday, when she told my wife we needed the I-864 rather than the I-864EZ. She said that the Consulate would not accept the I-864EZ. Well, I reassured my wife that EZ version is perfectly acceptable as long as we qualify to file that form. So have no doubt about the I-864EZ, if you meet its requirement.

We could not have made it this far without VJ and its many helpful members. Thank you, from both of us. We're so happy now. Time to book a flight back to VN and pickup my honey.

Great job JustDuck, where's the Chick? :)

Your example of well prepared and armed with knowledge of the rules/laws have play a huge part in the passing of your wife's interview. You should be proud of what you have done together. It helps to put her at easy and keep her focus on the "BIG PICTURE" i.e. "telling a truth convincing love story of yours" to the C.O.

Love to hear a happy ending...

Cheers,

chuck and kim

Thanks all. I haven't post much but I did read a lot of posts here. VJ is a wealth of information.

My wife will be picking up her visa on the 21st. I already bought our tickets. Oh, she said that her appt. for her second round of immunization shots is not until July. But we're leaving in June. Is that ok? I assume she can get them done here in the States, right?
