The guy seemed just to want to get me off the phone... But other visa journey couples have done it, and it says on the visa journey consulate page that finances are allowed... If you read on the internet, it's encouraged!

If only someone could give me recent feedback?

Omg, they let the k-1 couple in??

Thank you all SO MUCH for all your help!

Just for the record, the guy on the phone was a complete ********* and lied entirely. I was not only allowed into the Consulate, but also at the interview!

Just a question... Our Case Status still says "Ready" after the interview. Is this normal?

Thanks!

They said "Congratulations, you are approved!" but I am still nervous about potential AP!! Especially with all these technical systems down.

Be optimistic, if they said that you were approved that means that you got it .

Inshallah every thing will work for you guys .

T'es venu en bateau ? :P

Oui nous avons fait la traversee avec le Queen Mary 2 depuis Southampton UK. C'etait juste magique. L'arrivee a NYC, passage sous le Verazzano Bridge puis a cote de la statue ... etc. Nous avions le choix de debarquer vers 10h30 mais vu que nous etions debout depuis 4h du matin nous avons prefere faire le "self disembarkation" qui a eu lieu aux alentours de 7h30. Une fois passee la premiere inspection par une douaniere super cool (a l'americaine quoi), j'ai ete envote en secondary pendant que mon epouse et mes enfants attendaient dans le hall principal. Apres environ 25mn d'attente le douanier (moins cool celui la, legerement "cretinus"!), a pris mes fingerprints, puis m'a fait rasseoir. 5mn plus tard il m'appelle et me tend mon passeport. Apres m'avoir fairt verifier ma mailing address une seconde fois il me dit " You're good to go." Je n'ai pas eu droit a mon "welcolme to America" mais je n'en attendais pas autant ;)

Et bien voila, la conclusion de un an et demi d'attente et de stress permanent pour avoir mon visa mais sinon la fermeture de notre parenthese francaise qui s'etait ouverte il y a plus de dix ans deja avec un depart force des USA.

Arrive ici je me suis immediatement senti "at home" donc voila, happy to be back.

I'll be around!
