hi all just got back from interview and had to share good news with you all APPROVED cannot believe it 166 days from filing to approval of I130. We have been so lucky but would love to thank everyone who posted with advice over the months. I have to say after a sleepless night and butterflies in stomach the interview went really well. At the first desk I handed over my paperwork they didn't need my husbands divorce papers only mine, they already had his 864 which had a big red approved stamp on it. They only needed one photo he did say the paperwork being sent out has not been updated yet. Then when I was called to the second window for the interview the young man just asked me to sign the DS230 part 2 swear I was giving true information then I think he felt like he had to ask questions so asked me where we met, how long before we were married where I was going to live in the states and had I been there? He didn't even seem to wait for me to give my long drawn out answers before he asked the next question. Didn't want to see any proof of our marriage ( I think most of this is already checked before you get to this stage). He then explained about the infamous envelope and told me what to expect at the POE and that was it congratulations and it was over all in less than 5 minutes.

Good luck to all those who are still taking this journey and to those about to start.
