Guys, my husbands visa was approved on Tuesday and I couldn't be more ecstatic!! We have waited...seems like forever for this moment! My husband's interview was at 8am and I was not there for the interview because I had final exams this week that could not be rescheduled. He was asked about five questions...How did we meet? When did we start dating? When did we get engaged? When did we get married? What was my job? What did my job entail?(describe what I do). Then he asked my husband if he had any correspondence, which my husband then showed him letters and cards I had sent and phone bills and that was it, and he was approved!I had already sent a bunch of evidence with the original petition (I-130) so I think that helped a lot. He called me at 11:19am to give me the good news, so he was there just a little over 3hours. The consular officer said the visa would be ready in 5 working days and we opted to pick it up from DHL opposed to it being delivered because I don't trust any mailing system in Jamaica...things always gets lost.I hope it is indeed ready for pick up in 5 days so my husband and I will be together for our 1st Christmas in the U.S. God bless you all in your journey and I know how all of y'all feel, Ive been there and that sacred union of marriage that you entered is well worth the hassle and wait. One Love!!
