Congratulations John and Wendy and good luck for a great married life.

Kathryn: Just like edp333 mentioned, its my understanding too that the temprorary EAD thru JFK is only for K1 visa applicants. Kath, on the other note, I just read about your updated progress too (in your sig) as in getting the interview date and all... I m so happy for you guys. I really am. Wish you all best and hope things work out for you real soon. Please keep on praying for us too guys :-)

Deb: I m happy for you too. Good Luck and hope the rest of your VJ is speedier.

TC everyone. :thumbs:

Thanks Pkewl! Wish you luck during your wife's interview. I pray for the best outcome. You guys are almost there!

Deb

Hi All,

I just recieved THE phone call that I 've been so anxiously waiting for : My wife's K3 visa has been approved :D

The interview process was relatively simple but she did tell me that she was asked about 15 - 20 questions surrounding my job and our wedding. I will post the full review later as I get more information.

I want to say THANKS A LOT to all of my felllow VJers for their time, help and making this tough VJ a little easier. There are too many VJers to list but I 'd like to especially thank C&J, Devine(Kathryn), Edp333, Deb, DaveJaz, G&A and I m sure there are many to list but I apologize for not recalling all the names. I appreciate all of your wishes, good luck and prayers. I am sure it played a big part in getting my wife's visa approved. Once again, thanks much.

Best Regards.

HELLO MY VJ FRIENDS...GOOD NEWS, WE WERE APPROVED!!!! :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::dance::dance::dance:

Just so you guys know, my husbands interview lasted only 3 minutes. (But the whole experience took about 6 hours...lines, lines). And my husband took a lot of evidence, pictures, joint bank statements, a lot of stuff. THEY DID NOT ASK TO SEE ANYTHING. They did not even look at what he took. They only asked when we met, how long we dated, if he had ever been in the US, and if we were married both legally and religiously. My husband said yes, we are married both by law and by the catholic church, and they said, OK you are APPROVED. That was it!!!

Oh and since there are 5 crossing bridges in Ciudaed Juarez, into Texas. Once you get the yellow envelope (the one you have to give to the US officer at the POE) it tells you what POE (bridge) you have to go to. We were assigned to FABENS, TEXAS bridge. That was the farthest one...but it was OK because it was really small POE Office (it was like an office trailer) and there was only one couple in front of us waiting. So the process was really fast.

For the rest of you waiting or who need info on the Consulate in Ciudad Juarez, I will post more info on the Foreign embassy - Ciudad Juarez Thread.

THANKS GUYS FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT.
