[classicrock68 0]

All:

Finally got my fiancee to write all the questions down and send them to me so I could post here and in the Embassy section.

We got approved but looks like she got grilled with unending questions. Don't know what their trip was but we got approved and that's what matters. They never asked to see any supporting documentation, however. Just looked at what I had submitted at VSC.

7:50 am to 10:10 am waited patiently for the second round of interview

Got very nervous as all applicants around me had a small pink token in their hand which had a number

They were called at the counter by their number

Finally heaved a sigh of relief when I met someone who was without the pink token
