We had our interview on Wednesday January 28. We called earlier in the month to set up an appointment but was told to call back because we had not completed our doctors appointment. With this done we called and was given a appointment for the interview two weeks from the call. We arrived at at 8am. It is very busy and many people are standing around as you walk in. My fiancee had her purse which caused some problems so I would not recommend taking anything but the files needed. We walked to a locked door were another guard let us in. We gave him cell phones and he gave us a ticket to retrieve them back. As we walked in we are directed to the second floor because the first was already full of people. There is a intercom system which is very hard to hear.. They called us at 10:30 am. I went with my fiancee every time she was called. We walked up to window and started giving her all the papers requested. Forms, sponsors, and proof. She commented on the amount of pictures which was 4 packets and was she was very nice. She asked my fiancee some basic question. Were she lived, did we have kids etc. After that we were directed to go back and sit and wait for the finger prints. We waited on the first floor since there was now room to sit. After the finger prints were done we were sent to a new room for the final interview. We waited for about 20 more minutes and were called to another window with a curtain. As we walked in a man greets us and asked if I was the future husband. I say Yes. He was very nice and asked us some general questions. He then asked if we wanted the interview in English or Spanish. My fiancee said English. His questions showed he was familiar with our case. He asked us about were we wanted to live. Asked me what I do for work. And made some jokes about how many pictures we had. The final interview took about 10 minutes and he said you are approved have a nice life. We were done by 12 noon. We walked to the DHL office a few blocks away and made arrangements to have the paperwork sent to us. I have to say that all the people who we came in contact with at the consulate were professional and seemed very pleasant and friendly. We had a lot of prove and I think it helped make the process easier. I was glad to be there for support and based on past experiences of other VJ members who did not have a spouse.
