Ok, just got off the phone with Fiona. Everything went perfectly and exactly as we expected. The police document has been delayed and we knew that was already going to cause us to get a blue slip. Interview went well. They gave her blue slip and told her just bring the police document when she receives it and then can issue pink/visa. So yessssssssssss! So happy. Maybe cannot sleep tonight. She is so happy and excited......and hungry. Haha. She will post details about the interview later and I will repost on Visa Journey.

Police document is expected to come in the next week or so. :dance:

Glad to hear that Jerry. Maybe we can swing up to Dallas and see you guys!

this is great news, exactly the way you hoped for. Maybe they'll just hand over the visa the next time, rather than getting pink.

Hope so.

That would be fantastic.

So happy. I love Fiona so much. Talking with her now. Here is what she has to say so far about the interview.

**************

Vietnamese lady:

Do you speak English?

Vietnamese lady went away:

Black lady:

How did you meet your fiance?

When did you feel like you love your fiance?

How many visits did your fiance make to come see you in Vietnam?

What was the first year your fiance visit you?

Which trip did your fiancee propose to you?

What date did your fiance propose to you?

Did you have engagement party?

Do you have any relatives in the US?

Was your fiance married before?

Were you married before?

Your fiance have any children?

Do you have any children?

Have you ever applied for visa to USA?

Have you ever been to USA?

Can you tell me about the city your fiance lives in?

Can I see your photos?

5 minutes at window. Many pink slips passed out yesterday.

They never asked to see engagement photos, never asked for timeline, 10 year residence, chats, mail or anything. When the woman went to ask for something from Fiona, a person over the shoulder of the CO said, "No need". That was it. They told her when she gets the police document bring it back at any time.

hey jerry judging from the questions seems like they had the pink picked out already. nothing too intrusive or personal, all the q's were very matter-of-factly and straightforward. she wasn't grilled too hard. all the paperworks and preparations must've looked good to them coming in.

Congrats to you both and thanks very much for sharing those all important interview details. And I agree you should be granted the visa when she is granted the pink. It would be kind of retarded if they make you go and get the pink & then make you have to come back again later to get the visa. But retarded is not out of the realm of possibility for that Consulate, in my experience.

It does seem like lately the % of pinks/blues going out may be running somewhat above the historical norm, based on all the (albeit unscientific) research I've done. Could be their way of clearing out a backlog of work. Anyway... I certainly don't want to diminish what you've accomplished.. I'm sure you both worked very hard to prepare. I'm prolly just looking for silver linings for our impending interview June 22! :innocent:
