Umit went for her visa tis morning, 0830.

They made her wait for 90 mins before doing the interview, then she was called into the interview room.

Woman CO, Umit started to speak Turkish, but the woman asked if they could speak in English, which Umit switched over to.

Questions asked:

1. How did you meet?

2. How did you get engaged?

3. Petitioners work and age?

4. How many times have we met in person?

5. When will beneficiary go to America?

Then the woman looked at our chat logs (MSN), pictures, and petitioners passport copies (all pages :)) - and said, "congratulations, you will be getting your visa in 3-5 days" (they send them UPS)

Interview was about 30 mins. No AP (I didn't expect any since Umit has a 10 year visitors visa and she is a woman).

Thanks to this site, had all my ducks in a row - no issues at all with the paperwork (RFE) or any other time wasting issues !

Now on to the travel to the US and marriage...

:dance:

Congrats!

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!
