Most terrifying day of my entire life! Lets start off like that.
I was denied 2 tourist visas before, so my experience in the consulate was traumatic to say the least. This time, I was even more nervous, due to the situation. I had my wedding reception scheduled in Brazil for the 1st of may, and my tickets to come to America were already bought for may 4th. So, that interview was everything at that moment, and it was on april 14th.
Got at the consulate very early in the morning and went to the second floor, where the immigrant visas are proceeded. There were about 15 fiances/spouses already waiting on their interview. I was the LAST one to be called. Waited on those chairs for about two hours (can you imagine it?). When it was finally my time, it didn't even take 5 minutes talking to the consul. It was a mid-age Chinese looking consul, very charismatic. He said good morning, which was a surprise (on my interviews for the tourist visas the consul barely looked at my face...). He asked me to raise my right hand and say an oath, then he asked a few questions: how did me and my husband met, when, if he ever went to Brazil, if I ever came to America, if we spoke in english or portuguese, how did we get engaged, how long have we been in a relationship. And that was it. He didn't ask to look at any of my relationship evidences (I had soooooooo many paper sheet of facebook/skype/whatsapp conversations, emails, letters, photos...). He said my visa was approved and I started crying. He smiled, and said "the time to cry is over, now it's time to be happy! have a wonderful marriage".
So... even though it was the most terrifying day of my life, it was also one of the best ones!
