Embassy Interview

[NigerianLove 0]

Okay Everyone, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for the well wishes. Here is what my SO said happened: He received IV19. He said that they called everyone's number besides his, numbers higher and lower, people that were in line after him. He said that he had sat so long that he was wondering what was going on. Finally, his number was called and he went to window #13. He said that it was a white man. They had already taken the required documents. He sat down and pulled the binder out of his bag. The man said what are you doing. He told him taking out the binder with documents. He said I didn't ask for that. Then, he asked him what was in the binder. My SO told him all the doc.'s that talked about our relationship and gave him examples. The man asked him who put the binder together. SO said my fiance.

CO said tell me about your fiance. My SO started talking and talking and talking (my baby is very eloquent) until the CO had to interrupt him. He then asked my SO what does she do for a living. My SO started talking and talking and talking explaining every detail of my job. He said that the CO did get him when he explained that I also run an after school program. My SO didn't understand exactly what I do there, but the CO explained it to him but he wasn't upset at all with my SO.

He asked him how we communicate, SO told him. CO asked him when I visited what did we do, SO kept talking and talking . The CO said do you have pics, SO showed him and explained I think he said 3 or 4 of the pics. He said the CO asked him about his own family and our religious beliefs. He said the CO went to the computer did some stuff, went and got some papers. He said when he saw the CO get the yellow paper he knew he was approved! CO came back and said welcome to America! Come back on Aug. 6 @ 2 p.m. to get your passport. SO said it took all of 10 minutes for the interview.

My SO said it was simple and easy! I know on this site they say just answer the questions and don't volunteer info., but I'm glad the CO asked open-ended questions because my SO was able to demonstrate that we really know and love each other. However, the SO may think twice about asking those type of questions because of all the talking my SO did , but there was no question this was a genuine relationship.

In my opinion, I think they already know if they are going to approve you or not before you get to the interview. The Co didn't ask for emails, phone records, or anything else except for 3 or 4 pics to prove we had met. I feel cheated . Here I prepared all these lovely documents and they did not get any attention . Here are the list of questions that we used to practice. I found them on someone else's thread. I found them to be more in-depth than some of the other ones I've seen: www.fiddlers.us/questions/

Advice: If your SO can access, the internet have them start reviewing this site. My fiance is as addicted to this site as I am and it helped him to become comfortable with the process and how the CO's can behave. Thanks to all who have helped me and others by sharing their stories. Now, let's hope the visa actually arrives on time!

Boo Boo, my fiance talks so much that I lose my patience. I told him that he thinks he's Jesus because he likes to give a lot of illustrations and by the time he gets finished I've already moved on to something else. Patience is definitely a virtue that I have to work on. On the positive side, I will never complain that he doesn't tell me how he's feeling. I love my SO!!!

Congratulations! I know you feel so relieved. And I love your quote at the end of your post. I felt the same way when I first stepped foot on African soil.
