The visa interview was tough but manageable if you have all your documents and information in order. I could not hear the CO very clearly through the glass window and she got a little impatient with me so insisted that I needed a translator and asked me to sit and wait some more. I did as she instructed and prayed for grace and calmness.
I was asked about my previous travels to the US, Canada and UK, my husband's divorce and kids, why i was denied entry to the US in Nov 2010 ( I showed her the statement I made to Homeland Security when i opted for voluntary withdrawal of visa) and also wanted to know why we opted to get married in the US and not Kenya. Asked to see photos of me and hubby. Also asked to see my ring...
The advise I would give is stay calm, say the truth as you know your relationship is legit and don't cook up stories....some questions were asked more than once. Also, pray for grace and favor and for calmness.
I was also called back to verify finger prints.
Waiting for the visa with passport...it comes through DHL...not immediate visas in previous years.
