Was there lots of waiting for a 7 hour interview, or did you actually have a lot of questions?

Just lots of waiting mostly. The Filipino council asked about 5 questions...How we meet (online website) and asked it again 3 times total (maybe tiring to trip her up?), when we meet for the first time and when we last met. The American council asked 2 questions...when did we get engaged and what is our nick names that we call each other (handsome & beautiful, hehe) he laughed and smiled also. Never was asked for any proof of engagement, ongoing relationship, letter of intent to marry or pictures, etc...nothing!...maybe because Marilyn told him though the conversation that we meet 4 times already in the last 12 months? He of course took my 134 and all supporting docs along with that....simple

Oh BTW, on the DS-forms that had any questions that were awnsered "none or NA" they wanted her to fill in all lines with "none or NA"

example, if question x had 6 lines that were blank, fill all 6 lines with "none or NA" Marilyn asked if they would allow her to fill that in quickly? Council said yes, just be quick...

hope that helps...good luck
