Just wondering because I read some people are going to wait and surprise their fiance. I'm going to vote because even though we're not approved yet I know who I'm telling first and how. Anyways let's hear your stories any surprise approvals of the way you told your love one?

I think I'm going to call GG up and pretend we have bad news and then yell in the phone "I TOLD YOU SO WE'RE APPROVED" haha :P:bonk:

Only reason I'll tell someone else first is if I can't a hold of her and I get impatient.

I feel she (fiancée) is the first one to know about the whole process. And then family, others should have to be surprised when she comes down here. They shouldn’t have to know about personal life.

hahaha i just had the biggest confused look on my face when I read about the VJ option because I had it in there. :bonk::rofl: I edited the poll and forgot to put it back. :wacko:

For me telling VJ first or at least second would be pretty easy my pc is always up and so is a web browser with VJ tabbed. :P Unless I have something to do I'm always on my pc for some reason. :thumbs:

oh well other is still there hehe

My husband's aunt and cousins, we stayed with them that weekend (interview was Monday) because they live closer to the CIS then we did and our closest relatives. Mine live overseas and hubs side lived out of state.

I can't remember exactly but it was a day after Christmas and I was just leaving the house to go to work and I checjed the Mail and I saw the 2 envelopes from USCIS and took it into my car. My hear was pounding so hard I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I quickly ripped open the envelope and scanned it for the words "approved" or "denied" and thank god it said Approved.

Ok now I renember I called my mom and told her first then once I got to work I called my husband and he said "ok babe, I knew it" *\(^o^)/*
