Eduardo arrived at the Embassy at 6:30am. Needless to say, he was the first in line. They opened the doors at 8 and were let in and given a number. He said after about an hour, they called him up and took his papers to enter into the computer. After about 2 more hours (and a short nap he said), they called him back up to do his digital fingerprints. And about an hour after that, they called him up for his interview. He said the woman interviewing him was very, very friendly. She asked to see our financial forms and a few other things and she said everything looked in order. She asked him how we met and when he told her that I was a Peace Corps Volunteer, she told him to tell me "thank you" for my service, which was really nice. He showed her the pictures I have sent him of my family and he told her all about them, our wedding, and where I live. After about 15 minutes, she asked him how I was doing and he told her that I was nervous and she said "well, you can call your fiance and tell her that her Prince Charming will be there to see her very soon!" He was so relieved. She told him he could come back at 3 that afternoon to pick-up his visa. When he got back at 2, he said him and one other lady (who he talked to early and who was afraid she wasn't approved) were the last two waiting. He was afraid that he maybe wasn't approved and heard wrong but it just turned out that Fiance Visas were the last to be handed out. Huge relief for him. But they did tell them all that out of the 400 interviews/applicants they had the fiance visas for the November Interview date, only 27 were approved. I'm assuming that 400 is counting going all the way back and counting applications from I-129Fs, but I'm so glad Eduardo was one of the approvals!
Overall, all nervousness aside, Eduardo had a great experience!
