Appt. was 1, arrived at 12:30 and was directed to the Visitor's Lot by a very friendly attendant at the gate. Directed thru security check by yet another very friendly security guard who checked our Appointment Letter and instructed us to put it in a basket and have a seat. The office was full/busy, and we noted another Ap Letter with an appointment time of 11:30, so we figured we'd be in for a long wait. Met a very nice couple (Poland) and chatted for awhile, hoping it was another couple we knew from VJ. Turns out it wasn't but the couple in back of us was! We were happy to meet Jeremy & Kristy from Canadian forum!
We got called back about 20 minutes late (apparently lunch was over and things were moving VERY quickly); Officer Delarosa was delightful...professional, yet friendly. He swore us in, verified some information from our application and asked for proof of marriage. We provided: utility bills w/both names, receipt for a roof we purchased in both names, and our 2007 taxes...all of which he kept in our file. He looked at our wedding photos, said "I don't doubt your marriage" and said congratulations you're approved! We then asked about the stamp and he told us they don't do it much anymore given we should get the card within 2 weeks, but since Doug wasn't able to work cross border (truck driver) until he received the card, the Officer was kind enough to stamp his passport. DONE! Overall, very painless...as long as you have your paperwork/proof in order!
