Good afternoon everyone.....

First, let me say this...No matter my circumstances good or bad...I always give thanks to God..always. Second, for all, way too many to name but you know who you...thank you from the bottom of my and the hundreds heart for being such a support throughout this process. I have personally made connections with other VJers that have truly kept me laughing and encouraged through this process...Okay now to what you really want to know...

My husband left this morning at around 4:45am JA time for the Kingston Embassy for his 7:00am. interview. I know this because he called and woke me up...I covered him and the taxi driver in prayer and they were on their way.

At approx. 9:39am EST my husband called and said..."it was easy..." He ran through the logistics of clearing security, biometrics and document submission. He said he then wanted for his name to be called and he went up to the window. The very first person in his group to be interviewed. So here is his line of questioning:

1. Who's filing for you? Response, my wife

2. What's her name? He responded

3. Where do you work? He responded

4. Tell me about your wife. He responded

5. Where does your wife live? He responded. CO said he never heard of that part of Georgia...(h*** neither have I until I moved here).

6. Where did you get married?

7. Who put together your package? He responded, my wife. CO said, "she did an excellent job and this package was nicely done."

So, now here is where it gets sticky...my husband said he said, ""IF" it's APPROVED You can pick your visa up at DHL." So me now being the investigator I am said...what do you mean "IF"...did you get your passport back? No they kept it...so for 6 he's I have been researching and trying to figure out WTH. My husband called me back about 2 hours ago (we just got off the phone)...and I made him (yes made him) walk me through the entire process starting from the time he got out of the car. So he gets to the part again...and he's saying to himself "IF its a" "IT'S APPROVED"..and I said what did he say...then said.."no babes, no got nervous and mi mash up what him said..Mi 100% sure him seh, "IT'S APPROVED".." Babes.."IT'S APPROVED"...

SO.."IT'S APPROVED"...now watch for world news for headline story about a deranged wife who purchased a ticket to Jamaica; Who went solely to kicked her husband's a**! I don't need my squad...I got this one...

Sending cyber hugs and a million kisses to all..and a big fat wet kiss for my super duper special VJers (you know who you are).

Abundant prayers and blessing for those with upcoming interviews and those awaiting to be scheduled.

I am so happy for you!! Congrats!!!

About how long does it take to get the interview letter and instructions after receiving the interview date? Also, do you get both an email and a mailed copy? Or just email? When I talked to the representative today he only told me to expect an email but I know that you have to take the letter to the interview so I'm not sure what to expect? Can anyone clarify this for me? Thank you :)

Wow. Your hubby may get his before mine is ready

No moved until we have everything in hand. Once we have that, we will start to plan. All we wanted was to get last this hurdle...and the rest is gravy (well kinda).

If you are still worried, please email the Embassy...within 5days you will get a response. Sometimes you have to fight! So...fight!

Depression is starting to kick in again. I am trying not to worry myself. Been checking my phone and have it by my side almost every second of every hour so as to not miss any calls or emails from them should they try contacting me.They touched the case today I don't know if that's a good or bad thing but my confusion is that if they did their investigations before what else could they be investigating now that would cause such a long AP. It's a good thing we didn't book the ticket yet or else the money would have gone to waste. Just in a world of confusion now. I thought we were finally done with the waiting .
