I just read that someone else had their interview this morning and it was approved....Congratulations!
I must have been a little after him, because after my 2 hour wat outside I was given number 11. The process inside was incredibly fast and I didn't have time to sit down at all until after it was all over an dI wanted to check that I hadn't forgotton anything.
Process was the same as I have read other's had experienced - see one woman who takes all your documents and copies. Pay $100. See another person who asks you to hold up your right hand and swear to tell the truth. She asked me the questions about how I met my fiance. How many times he had visited me, and I had visited him. What does he do for a living. What do I do. Why was I not wearing an engagement ring (didn't seem a problem she said she was just curious). Then told me the passport would be returned to me in 3-5 working days. I just kindof stood there, amazed at how smoothly it all had gone. I had a file of documents (wedding invitations, ring receipts, e-mails, boarding passes etc) but they didn't want to se any of that. I was told that the process for the fiance is usually pretty straightforward and they don't need additional evidence. I am pleased I brought it all along with me though.
So, now we can start makning plans knowing for sure that they actually can happen. That is a wonderful relief! I fly out to be reunited with my fiance on May 13th and I can't wait. Counting down the days....
Thankyou everyone for your words of support and advice. This website has been invaluable in this long drawn-out visa process. I am sure we will return to the forums as soon as we start on the AOS!!!
Good luck for all you Brits with visa interviews coming up. I am sure you will all be fine. And just a hint, to calm your nerves whilst you are waiting, chat to the policemen. They are really lovely and they said that hardly anyone really tries to make conversation with them and as a result their days feel very long!
