September 2010 Interviews

[gurububba 0]

Congratulations gurububba!! Did your sister tell you exactly how long it will take for her passport to come? Generally its two weeks..we wanted to make travel plans so i was just wondering if they tell you a specific time or is it a general 'couple of weeks'??

Consulate told her that she may collect the passports from American Express in Lahore in a "couple of weeks". She was given some sort of purple slip that she will need to show to collect them.

good to see approvals already!

[Marijke 1]

So i am very happy to announce that my visa has been APPROVED !!!!!!!

I can pick my passport up on the 15th and our flights haven been booked, we are flying to Alaska on the 21st ))))!!!!

Ok so our daughter is going to have her first birthday without daddy, but a few days after that we will be together again!

So the interview itself was pretty nerve wrecking just cause it seemed to take forever...

My appointment was at 2pm, but i made sure i was there an hour ahead...so did lots of other people .

So by the time it was my turn an hour and half had past... Finally got inline inside the embassy and a lady asked if ther was anybody for immigrant visa...

Happy to say that i was the only one who said yes , so i had to go up to the window and she had a bunch of papers in front of her....She asked me for the medical results and made me swear that everything in the paperwork and what i was about to say is the truth!

I said i swear and she went over all the paperwork with a checklist to make sure nothing was missing! Big releave everything was there !

She told me to take a seat again and that later on they would call me to get fingerprinted...half an hour later fingerprints and got asked to sit down again.

So i was really stressing out from all the waiting... about an hour later, called me up to the window again for the actual interview...

They asked me all sorts of questions:

-where did you meet?

-How long before you mett in person ?

-how many times did you fly out there ?

-marriage date ?

-where did you get married ?

-who where your witnesses ?

-What does your husband do for a living ?

-Do his parents like you and visa versa ?

-...

-...

She also wanted to see our pictures, albums and asked how we communicated: printed out skype history...

So finally she said ...well for me you passed. I thought FOR ME...so is someone else going to interview me know ????!!!!

Are you taking turns tormenting people ???!!!

So i asked does this mean i am approved and she said yes!!!! )))) pick up passport next week woooohhhhooooooo )))

So

aui2010 FYI, my sister already received the passports. Interview was on Friday in Isl and passports w/ visa were returned on Wednesday in Lahore. So the consulate did not take all of the 2 week time.

Thank you very much aui2010 !!!!!!!

Yeah i don't think you can ever take to much info, if they don't request it good...if they do request it and you don't have it... .

So have you recieved any information from the embassy about the stroller/diaperbag question ?

Hope your interview goes as smooth as mine, i know how hard it is as a mommy to go through this process by yourself!!

Good luck, we will be praying for you!!!
