My fiance passed his interview yesterday. february the 12th, and up until now we still could not believe it! almost two long years since we met and finally, it's time he comes over here and start our new life, our new family. And, on this great victory we have achieved, I have everyone here at visajourney to thank for. If not for this forum, I don't think we would've gone through this process smoothly. This goes out to everyone, THANK YOU!

Now for those who are still waiting for NOA2, just hang in there...your day will come. I never thought this day would come, QUICK!

For those just waiting for the interview date: Just be yourself. Review the most common things that you ought to know about your fiance/fiancee and you'll be fine. and oh, like what my fiance told me: Answer from the heart...it'll just all come out naturally as you answer...

Now for the questions they asked:

PRE-SCREENER

1. why do you have so many call records?

2. how did you meet?

3. when did you meet in person?

4. what does you fiancee do for a living?

5. can i see some of your pictures?

6. have you met your fiancee?

7. how many times did you see each other in person?

8. have you been married?

9. was your fiancee married before?

10. do you have children?

11. does she have children?

12. when did she visit you?

13. what's the address of your fiancee?

14. what's her parents address in hawaii?

CONSUL

1. why do you have so many call records?

2. how did you meet?

3. when did you meet in person?

4. what does you fiancee do for a living?

5. can i see some of your pictures?

6. have you met your fiancee?

7. how many times did you see each other in person?

8. have you been married?

9. was your fiancee married before?

10. do you have children?

11. does she have children?

12. when did she visit you?

13. what's the address of your fiancee?

14. was she born in hawaii?

15. when did she move to the u.s. mainland from hawaii?

As you can see, the consul really grilled my fiance and asked the same questions at least twice. She was very, and I mean, very upset that we had 10 pounds worth of evidence, most of which, were call records.

Consul:"if you think your gonna convince me to approve your visa by giving me a lot of these call record print-outs, your wrong! This won't help."

My fiance: Ma'am, I'm sorry. We thought that the more evidence we had, the easier it will be to prove our genuine relationship to you.

Consul: "In america, words are powerful. Just don't lie. We believe in your words. And you don't have to bring all these."

The statements above were said so many times over and over again until my fiance started shedding tears thinking that we were going to be denied.

My fiance literally started crying really hard because he thought that all our plans, our hopes, and our dreams were being flushed down the drain. Then the consul, staring at my fiance and at all the evidence that we had, started crying too. And so did her assistant sitting right behind her.

Consul sobbing: "You really love her"

Then, tearfully, she said: I'm gonna approve your visa. I can see that you really love her so much. She's very lucky that you're like that. She's lucky to have you. All I did was to see if she'll be okay with you. The relationship is running very strong and will be doing great in the future. That's all. Good luck and welcome to america! (wiping her tears away to maintain her composure)

LESSON LEARNED: Don't overdo your evidence especially the ones for proving your relationship. I mean, it's nice to have a substantial quantity but not TOO MUCH.

Thanks again everyone!!!
