In your interview DON'T lose your passport at the Consulate, especially when your flight to America is 4 days later, lol.
After all the months of forms & delays, we were so estatic to have the Visa granted ... only to get completely deflated when we learned she no longer possessed a passport. And she couldn't immediately go back to the Consulate, as she jumped onto a train back home right after the interview.
Thankfully, the Consulate found the passport and she got it back less than 24 hours before her flight. It was a nerve-wracking few days though. Thank God for small miracles!

Well, our "wedding" will consist of filling out a form at the courthouse, lol. We had a nice wedding, reception and honeymoon back in April, though ;)

Apparently, the 2 minute interview was a breeze. Thankfully, we went over the paperwork a dozen times in advance.
How did she lose the passport? After the visa had been granted?
wow, that was lucky!
