Arrived at the Embassy at 7:45 and got inside at 8:00
big room with lots of chairs the computer screens weren't on at the time so instead we had some bloke calling at the numbers...
waited for about 4 hours (damn long time) and got my number called out to window 13, went over and a middle aged lady took all what was required off me...birth cert...police record....I-193 plus evidence..passport photo's all the usual stuff without cracking one smile...miserable women lol told me to go and sit back down and wait for my number again which I did
thankfully only had to wait another 20 mins before they called my number again which was the actually interview and window 16 middle aged bloke this time and at least he put me more at ease talking to him asked all the usual questions
how did we met (playing a game on facebook)
who contacted who first (Lori conntacted me in an email to say thanks for sending her a gift)
when did we first met in person (September the 10th 2010)
where was this (Minnesota, Shoreview)
also said about the second meeting I went over before he even said it
asked me if she has ever been here to visit me (I said no but Lori will be coming over in July for my sister's Wedding)
When are we getting married (10th Sept 2011 exactly one year since we first met in person)
when am I going over (I said sometime inbetween after my sisters wedding and before our wedding)
then he done a few things and said the magic words APPROVED
must say nothing beats that feeling after going through all the wait and worry and hearing those words
rushed back to my hotel to facetime Lori and tell her the good news
