So first off we got APPROVED. I'll make this as short and sweet as the interview was :-)/ We got there around 5:30/45am and got in line. Our appointment was for 7:30am however the gentleman helping us said we could go in the line for the 6:45am appointments. We waited a while and were allowed to enter. Around 7:30am we got called to window 24 to hand in the police certificate, and passports. At this point I started looking for that famous green paper however didn't see it yet. At 8:30am we were called to window 13 to do fingerprints. At this point as my husband was busy talking to the woman in the window I got a glance at the green paper stapled to our file and this gave us both a sign of relief as our hearts were pounding all morning from nerves. Around 9:30am we got called to window 23. We were immediately sworn in and the consulate officer asked if we wanted to do the interview in english/spanish and as my husband knows little english we did it in spanish....the consulate officer asked my husband the following:
What does she do for work?
Did she go to college?
What did she study?
Where was she originally born?
Then the officer asked me:
What does he do for work?
How did you meet him? (i got on rambling...)
The officer was pretty ridged and did not show much personality during the questioning...After that he asked for photos...I asked if he wanted to see wedding, or normal photos and he said whichever so we showed him the album. After this he asked us who in our families attended the wedding.
Following this there was a moment of silence which felt like 5 minutes but probably was only 2 where he talked to someone in another window, typed things on the computer. Finally he said those words we hoped for and approved the visa. We were not separated at all during the process. After this we paid DOMEX and were out by 9:45am. I requested it be expedited so he could go back with me on the 19th and they noted it in the file. Hope this helps and good luck to everyone else!!
