Well I wish you the best and hope that week everyone in the Embassy is in a kind romantic mood since my fiancee's interview is the day before yours.

I have to think how funny it is in a way that we all put so much work into this and worry ourselves silly for something that lasts a few minutes. We have a few gaps in ours that I wish we did not but I think we have more than enough evidence to show a serious relationship.

12/14/2006 Applied for K-1 with request for Waver for Multiple filings within 2 years.
Waiting - Waiting - Waiting
3/6 Called NVC file sent to Washington for "Administrative Review" Told to call back every few weeks. 7/6 Called NVC, A/R is finished, case on way to Moscow. YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
7/13 On Friday the 13th we see updated Moscow website with our interview on 9/11 (Hope we are not supersticious) 9/11 Visa Approved. Yahoo.
10/12 Tickets for her to America. I am flying to JFK to meet her there. 12/15/07 We are married. One year and a day after filling original K-1
12/27 Filed for AOS, EAD & AP 1/3 Received all three NOA-1's 1/22 Biometrics 2/27 EAD & AP received 4/12 Interview

Best wishes to you, Novotul, and to you Turboguy ! (F) You guys are going to get that visa and we all will wait for your thread to appear, ' VISA IN HAND ' ! :thumbs:

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Even though it's still a few days away, good luck to both novotul and turboguy! I can't wait to see your visa approved posts! both Kotenochek and I, and a few others have all passed interviews recently. The guy was nice and polite, and I am sure it will be successful!

Can't wait to see the "VISA APPROVED!!!" messages.

Good luck to both of you. And Turboguy... you're absolutely right, we stress way too much about this. But, what else are we going to do in the long months??? (And in your case, the REALLY LONG MONTHS!!!)

Ensure your beneficiary makes and brings with them to the States a copy of the DS-3025 (vaccination form)

If the government is going to force me to exercise my "right" to health care, then they better start requiring people to exercise their Right to Bear Arms. - "Where's my public option rifle?"
