Wanwisa had her interview yesterday...and we were approved for the K-1!!!

At the interview, they asked her how we met and what I do for a living.

My Fiancee has to go back to the Embassy on Friday to pick up her passport with the visa and will be on a flight to San Francisco on Saturday!!!

Thanks again to everyone for all the help and I wish everyone else a speedy 7 months like we had.

Tips? Let's see:

--We did eveything by the book and never had any unusual delays or RFEs...Just the usual 4 months at the CSC.

--For evidence with the I-129F and at the Embassy, we submitted mountains of cell phone records, pictures together, emails, hotel receipts with both of our names, airline boarding passes and passport copies.

--When we got packet #3 from the consulate after it was sent by the NVC, we returned it the next day, did the medical/police clearance immediately and had the interview date in about 10 days.

BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE. I HOPE YOU ARE SOON WITH YOUR LOVED ONE.

--Bryan and Wanwisa
