Here's how it went down:

Tram signed onto Yahoo! at 12:00am. Her computer sat idle and I assumed that it was just on auto login and someone turned it one when she didn't reply to me.

Then she pops on.

Tram: bbay

Tram: baby

Tram: i did interview

tim: and?

Tram: but it is not perfect like me think

Tram: what will i do right now

tim: ok

Tram: ?

tim: did they give you a paper?

Tram: blue paper

tim: what does it say?

Tram: they say i need more paper

Tram: so sad

Tram: i am too sad i dont want to life more

tim: it is okay honey

Tram: i want to talk with u on headset

tim: ok

Tram: talk with me

Tram: then i will read what i have on blue paper

So we pop on the headset and turn on the webcam and she's sitting there all depressed and is going on about "You need to find a new wife in america, and i can not be with you, what will we do" and so on. She wont let me get a word in so I tell her to just stop for a second and let me talk. The she holds up the PINK like a little brat.

Obviously we are both over joyed and telling all our family and friends about it right now but i was able to dig the following out of her.

A Malaysian girl asked her the questions. Tram said she was very polite to the CO and greeted her with a smile and a "Hello, Madam" She said "Thank you, Madam" when she was handed the pink and said "Goodbye, Madam" when she left. She says the CO was very nice to her and at ease with her because she was polite and happy. If Tram was asked something she didn't understand in English she asked the CO if she could speak Viet and the CO said yes, and Tram replied "Thank you." She said there was no translator and the CO spoke average Vietnamese at best.

Questions:

How did we meet?

Why did your uncle introduce you?

Did he go to learn more after High School?

Does he have any brothers?

Did you meet his parents yet?

Is he a big brother?

Where did he stay at in Vietnam?

And that was it from what she told me so far. She picks up her visa in 2 weeks. I'll have her fly in and meet her at my parents up north so we can have a white Christmas then we'll fly back down to FL to enjoy the 65 degree winter hehehe.

Judging by the brief interview I'm guessing the paperwork did most of the talking, along with the confidence Tram took in with her. I'm so proud of her :). This will be a holiday season and Christmas I will never forget!!

That is Great News!! I wish the best for both of you in your new life together. Thanks for including the questions and info about her interview.

After the last two posts about interviews that failed, I was getting worried. Now I feel better that the rest of us will have sucessful interviews too!

Thanks all! She is trying to talk me into letting her stay in Vietnam for Christmas. Looks like it might work out that she could fly into my parents city and we could meet there after Christmas still with enough time to get the Marriage done this year. That's another issue that'll just have to wait until we've enjoyed the Pink long enough :).

She told me that at her interview the CO just asked to see some pictures. She did not mention the engagement or anything.

I have thought of couple of questions about the interviw, if you could answer them, please.

Why did they ask "Did he go to learn more after High School? Is he a big brother?"

Also I thought you would get the visa the next day not in a couple of weeks. Did they give her a reason why the wait?

I'm planning on going to Vietnam for Thi's interview and hopefully fly back with her but waiting two weeks would be a problem.... I was assuming arriving a couple of days before the interview, then staying for a couple of more days then leave with her to the US if all went well.....

Congrats again!!
