Hi all

We just got back to our hotel after a 2 minute interview

We were so nervous!

we got there 40 minutes early went thru the security, gave our appt letter to a woman and then were directed to a room upstairs. we gave our letter then to another man and he said to wait

There was one other couple in the room and they were called at 2:30 by a man that i thought loooked me and thought i do not want him

then 3 minutes later the couple came out. Then another couple came out that must have been in the room for a while. Then 2:28 we were called by the mean looking man! oh no i thought. so we go into his office, he asks how we were, then swore us in.

He then asked for my husbands passport, then asked him his name, birthdate,. parents name. Then if he was every arrested, deported etc...Then asked me my name and birthdate and 2 paystubs from my job. Then he said March 20th was a big day have you been separated at all since that day? we both looked at him and said no but what is march 20th? we got married on march 30th , he said ok where was your wedding and was it just the 2 of you? we said where it was and that my family and our friends form here were there and my husbands family watched on webcam , he said thats cool, well today is an important day , you are now a legal resident of the usa, stamped passport, said you should get greencard in 2 weeks. thanks for bringing all the evidence but that is only needed in complicated cases and yours is straightforward. I asked him if he was sure he did not want to look at the photo album he just laughed... no questions were asked about aos from vwp or anything! so relieved!!!

David and I met online December of 2006 and spent a year getting to know each other online and with visits! He proposed to me July 2007 onstage at my Favorite bands (candlebox) concert in Florida .We found out we were expecting a child January 31st sadly due to an ectopic pregnancy we lost the baby and almost lost me as well on February 8th. We then decided to get married if my long and drawn out divorce finalized before David was due to go back on April 13th

Divorced finalized March 20th
