So my interview was yesterday, and after waiting and worrying about it since we sent our petition back in February. The interview was a breeze. I plan to leave a review of the embassy when I'm back on my computer later. 

 

As I was told it was mainly waiting. Out of all the stuff I brought I was only asked for; my passport, i134 with employment verification letter and bank deposit statements, birth certificate, change of name deed, police certificates from the UK and Japan, one passport photo, and reaffirmation letter from my fiancée. 

 

So there was a lot of waiting and then I was called for my interview. After raising my right hand and swearing to tell the truth the interviewer asked three questions.

Where did I meet my fiancée?

When was the last time we met? 

When is the wedding? 

I was also asked about my past drug use, as I told the truth during the medical, and I just confirmed what I had already told the GP at the medical. 

 

Then she said that the visa was approved and I was free to go. That was it. 

 

So I left the embassy and called my fiancée to tell her the good news. 

 

Now, I've got to wait about 10 days for my passport and the envelope that I've not got to open, which I guess is sent with the passport? The only thing they gave me is a CD with my chest x-ray. 

 

So yeah, the visa has been approved and I can't stop smiling!

Yep, once you’ve opened the outer envelope, you’ll find your passport and another huge, sealed envelope, which is clearly marked not to open 🙃.

Congratulations!!! As has been mentioned earlier your passport will be sent back with your paperwork for the point of entry (POE). The paperwork that you are not allowed to open will be marked "DO NOT OPEN" and state that only a US government official can open the package.
