Hi everyone!  I just wanted to share my fiances interview experience and give everyone an update because I'm so excited!! I'm hoping he sends over a more detailed review for me to post but I'll give an overview here ☺️

 

His interview was at 11:30 am and he got there a half hour early and they let him in the line.  Once he got his number and was called, he handed over his documents.  They only needed his passport, DS160, Affidavit of Support, Passport Photos, and Police Records.  We also had supporting documents for the Affidavit but he did not need those.  They asked him here "When are you planning to get married?"  To which he responded "As soon as possible, hopefully before the end of the month".  Then he sat back down and waited.

 

After a short wait (I think it was about 15 mins),  he was called up and spoke to someone new.  He only asked my fiance TWO questions.  He first asked "How did you two meet?"  and he explained that we met through a mutual friend in while we were both living in Madrid.  He asked if the mutual friend was in any photos that I'd sent in and my fiance looked at the photos and said No.  Then he pulled out a photo that I'd sent in of us at his sister's wedding and asked who's wedding that was.  He just said "That was my sister's wedding" and the man told him "Ok, you're approved".

 

And that was IT!!!! 

 

That was on Tuesday and today, our status changed to "ISSUED" !!!  We are so happy!  Thanks to everyone on here for all the help.  I'm happy to help anyone going forward!! 

 

YAY! ❤️

 

 

Thanks for sharing and congratulations. Do you mind providing a short summary of the process you followed when you received the email from NVC notifying that the case was being sent to Madrid? Did you wait for instructions from the embassy or did you start the ds160?

You're welcome!  Our case was sent to London actually!  My fiance is British, we just met in Madrid! I'm not sure if the process is the same for every embassy but when our case was forwarded from NVC, we did the DS160 and booked the medical!  I think you should definitely be able to fill out the DS160 now but maybe check with others filing in Spain first!

Last update: he received his passport and packet!!! 😍 Flight is booked for April 17th!!!
