We went to the our interview on Sept 3 2010. Once we got out of the cab we walked to the enterance where they have lines that were number between 1 and 4. Once they confirm that we had a letter we were allowed inside and went thru Security. Like everyone says it is an open areaso make sure that you bring clothes that will keep you warm! We were lead to the immgration visa lines and a Colombian woman made sure we had all the forms. Once she confirm Ginna and I were advised to go and wait by the windows to be called. After about 30 minutes Ginna was called to window 29 and they went over the forms again. She came back becuase I forgot to sign one of the forms!!! After I signed we were advisd to go back to where we were first in line and wait to be called... Here is were the hard begins!! We arrived in at the embassy at 7:00AM and were not called in till 1:30 PM, we were the 3rd to last couple called. As a Nicaraguan who just became a citizen 2 years ago I can say that it was hard to see the heartbreak when someone is denied a visa.. about 50% of the people that were waiting of an Immigration visa were denied, including coules that were there together. This made Ginna worry since there was no way to confirm what they were missing and we were to shy to ask. Finally it was our turn, and we both went to window 6. A very nice american woman spoke to Ginna and made her feel at ease, she said that we have so much information tht she hd no doubt that we were in a realy realtionship and asked her the following questions:
How did we meet? Thru our jobs
How many times have I been to Colombia to visit her? 4
What is my current postion in my company? Manager
When did I propose? and the story behind it. On Mar 19 and that I was mean about it ;-)
After those questions she told her that she was approved! We hugged and kissed and went to pay the fee for the visa. Overall the wait was the worse part becuase you see the human drama of everyone else and you mind begins to wonder where you stand.... But everyone was polite and no one was rude.
