Hi everyone,

Thanks for all your good lucks! The interview went Ok, except they were apparently missing one part of the affidavit (which we defiantly sent) so I don't know if it got mislaid but we have to send it in again and then we should be all set. So it's been very busy trying to get it couriered over to me so i can courier it to them asap. So not quite the outcome we hoped but, nearly there. Just a little frustrating as we went over everything a hundred times and the agent seemed to look over it for about 10 seconds. But the additional paperwork they need will be with them on Tuesday, and she said once they have received that there should be no problems. Just need to find out what kind of timeframe we are looking at...

Hope everyone is having better luck than us!

I am really sorry to hear this. I could see you being mislead just beacuase we found out yesterday that we need to obtain one more doc which was never asked before and is not even in the checklist that they send along with the interview letter. Not feeling up for any of this anymore - so down. I am assuming the ambassy already got your missing affidavit. Right? Do you know when you will hear back from them? My prayers are with you Holly - just so you know, you are not alone. I feel your pain.
