Well after the longest week of my life since waiting for my wife to get here, we finally have our interview on Monday morning. The funny thing is that I'm all worked up about it but my wife is cool as a cucumber.

We have four binders of documentation and photos, but I still can't help thinking I might be missing something. I guess I'll know in two days.

I had more than what you have prepared but neither of those were checked by the IO, instead he just let me tell my love story, how we met, how will I live my life different from what I used to in the Philippines - and I got the slip. What was nerve-wracking is that my wife had booked my flight i think when I was still waiting for my medical exams. Well, good luck to the both of you and welcome to the USA soon... just keep praying..it helps!:thumbs:
