Interview went very well. Just like everyone I was very nervous and stressed out but staff was actually really nice. When you arrive, security makes you wait across the road until it's the exact time. No need to be pushy, they'll call you when they are ready. Then you go through security, leave your phone and any electronics you may have as well as ''dangerous'' items. I always have a small pencil case in my purse with all the essentials including a mini pair of scissors and stapler and obviously they took it too, just in case. Now of course I didn't need that with me - I just forgot to leave it in my hotel room but staff was nice, they smiled and say at least you travel well prepared.
Once inside you get a ticket number and you wait. First person you see will ask you for a proof of payment and will review all the important paperwork with you. I believe they also took my fingerprints. Then once you're all clear you sit down and wait to be called for the interview. I didn't have to wait for a long time, maybe 5-8 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me, I was beyond stressed! So I went to where I was called and I ended up in front of a young, very friendly and energetic young woman. Very nice, she just asked me to confirm my fiance's name first, then tell her where we met and how, confirm his age and address and well as his profession. Also asked if I ever flew over there to meet him or if he did fly over here to meet my family and that was it, I heard the Congratulations Melissa, you passed the interview brilliantly and I am delighted to tell you can marry your fiancé. And my heart dropped. I asked and confirmed that I could just leave now. I stopped in the bathroom and just danced for a minute like this javascript:emoticon(' ') and then I left. God I hope I was not the only one who wanted to scream and run everywhere as I was walking out! I kept randomly smiling asI was walking in the streets. Anyways all I had to do left was waiting for my visa. They say it usually arrives within 7-8 working days, mine arrived in 15 days but who cares, WE GOT IT!!!
