My husbands visa was approved today, he said he was very comfortable with his interview, and the hardest part was sitting for hours waiting for his turn rolleyes.gif . It was a much better experience for him than when we applied two years ago for the fiance visa. It's been a very long journey for us and we are extremely happy today. I've learned a large amount from this website over the past few years and made some great friends. Thanks to all of you for your support and wisdom about immigration ,whether it be filling out forms or how to get through NVC quickly. A new life begins now! So ready for it <3
