Kalina, Congrats on getting the visa!!! :dance::thumbs:

LvivLovers, congrats again!!

Parachute, congrats on finally getting the transfer all the way to the embassy! It was a long wait

We passed interview today. Visas will be delivered on Friday or Monday. Everything was o.k. The most difficult part was security checks because I am with baby and they didn't allow me to go there with the baby carriage. So I had to carry my 9 kg. baby in hands all the time :) :) :)

They asked me only if I have been in USA before and for how long. I've been there for 6 months before a year. The most important is to have all required documents. The officer refuse to take photos and etc. because we have a child and this is a proof for relationship. I am very happy now. This journey is so exhausting.

Parachute, wonderful news. Now everything will be faster. You are close to the final.

Wish luck to everybody else with forthcoming interviews!!!

Good luck zoladen!

Interview date just set for Oct.31!

Wish me luck !

Congrats to everyone who has had activity in the last week. :thumbs:

I was in Peru from last Thursday until today. I got back this morning to KC...with Erika at my side! :yes: I went down to Lima to be with her for the interview on Friday. I had heard it takes about two days to get the visa in Lima after the interview, so I went ahead and made travel plans for Tuesday night...a little risky, I know. I was a little worried that it wouldn't arrive by Tuesday morning but it did! After a few emotional days of good-byes with her family and friends, we traveled to the US together, sitting side-by-side on both flights.

It sounds like all of us March filers who were so frustrated for so long are finally getting our spouses here. :dance:
