My father-in-law called me yesterday to inform me that someone had come to his home (from the embassy) to inquire about my husband and I. They asked him quite a few questions and wanted to see any pictured they had of us, which he had plenty. My father composed an e-mail to me in question answer form so I would know exactly what was said. I'm very happy to know that they are still working on the case. We interviewed back in April and I haven't heard anything since. I'd gladly share the questions if anyone is interested and might think it would be helpful to them.

Wow. That's interesting to know. What kind of questions did they ask, if you don't mind sharing?

I hope your case is resolved soon.

This is an email I recieved from my father-in-law yesterday........

Hi my daughter,
How are you and the kids. Long time no hear! Somebody from the American Embassy came asking for your husband a few minutes ago. I asked for his name after introducing myself as Akin Salawu. He said they dont normally give our identity for security reasons but since I am an old man,he idetified himself as simply Paul.
We had a very lively chat:
1. I am from the American Embassy. I am looking for one Demola Salawu
-- Yes, he is my son.
2. Where is he now?
-- Has gone to work.
3. Is he married?
-- Yes
4. Where is she?
-- In USA. Maines to be very exact.
5. Did you consent to the marriage?
-- Yes, of course. And we are always in contact by mail. Her name is Michelle but I also gave her a native name 'Gbemisola'.. Please note that he came back 10 minutes after he left to ask for this native name again.
6. How many times has she visited?
-- Like 4 times.
7. Do you have her pictures?
-- Yes. ( I went upstairs and brought my envelope album containing my pictures and yours too). He looked at them. He identified me, mom, Demola and you in the pictures. I asked whether he needed to take one of the pictures away, then he showed me the one he broght with him (showing you and Demola only). He didnt ask for wedding pictures.
.8. Other facts which I volunteered:
-- Profession: Banker/Computer Scientist
-- Retired from First Bank way back 1992
-- Let him know our property.

Take care.
Raheem Akinade Salawu
Your father-in-law

I had no idea the embassy had the time/resources to do individual checking.

But hey, you learn a little something everyday.

Thanks for sharing the questions! They've taken long enough already on this case now. It is nice to see some action on it. I hope they will resolve it soon.
Come on with the approval embassy

Your welcome about the questions.....I was thinking it might help someone else through this horrible process. It has been FOREVER, at least it feels that way to me. We have been married for over 2 years and we're still living 6000 miles apart. I hate this whole visa process!!
