    Yay congrats to everyone who got their dates today!!
     
    I finally managed to have a full FaceTime conversation with my husband, between a hectic day for me at work and him traveling back from London. He told me a little bit about the interview process and I wanted to share that here.
     
    He was at the embassy for a total of 40 minutes. He arrived 30 minutes early and waited for a while. There were two stages, first was biometrics. The woman taking his biometrics asked when he was planning to travel to the states, and he said hopefully before Christmas. She said visa processing is taking about three days after approval.
     
    The second stage was the actual “interview” but it was more like a conversation. The woman asked three questions:
     
    How did you meet your wife?
    Why did you decide to propose?
    How and where did you propose?
     
    Apparently it was all very easy and casual, and she approved him after about three minutes! She told him to expect the visa in 1-2 weeks, but I think that they are just required to say that - it clearly hasn’t been taking that long lately.
     
    All in all a pretty easy experience (except for the 18 months of waiting of course lol). The only documents he was asked for were passport, courier letter, and embassy appointment letter. It still doesn’t feel real that he could be here by Christmas! 
     
    Congrats again to those who got interviews today! And I will be thinking good thoughts for those waiting to hear in January 🤞🏻

    My husband had his interview this morning, 11 AM his time, 6 AM my time (I have been awake since 2 AM lol). He was APPROVED! ♥️ I’m so relieved! They told him that visas are taking about three days to be issued, so we’re really hopeful that he’ll be home for Christmas now ♥️

    Hey guys,
    This is a Joyous Day.... APPROVED!
    July 12th - Submitted documents to NVC.
    July 27th - Document Qualified.
    November 13th - Email of December 14 appointment.
    Checked in at Embassy 30 minutes before my 11:30 appointment time this morning and spent 40 minutes in total there. Most of the time spent waiting. Interview itself was 10 minutes.
    3 questions:
    Where did you meet your husband?Where does he live?
    When are you hoping to go to the USA?
     
    They were all super friendly and helped me feel relaxed.
    After he said, "I will approve you today""
    I heard nothing else he said lol!
    I was just relieved the process was over!
     
    This has been quite a journey but it's all worth it.
     
    Good luck to everyone with your interviews and for those waiting on interview dates, hang in there.
