Hey Everyone!! So this is my story:
Interview time was 8.30am this morning. I didn't want to take the risk of being late so got the 5.44am train from Kings Langley into Euston, then Euston to Bond Street. I arrived outside the embassy at around 6.50am. Yes EARLY and it was FREEZING (literally!). Meanwhile, I am feeling a mixture of emotions including excitement, tiredness (only got 3 hours sleep lol), anxiousness and sickness (5 months pregnant at 6.45am, not a good mix).
Sat down till about 7.05am the walked over to the security box which said "VISAS". I was the first in line!! :P hee hee. At 7.30ish a woman came out and asked to see my appointment letter and asked if I had any electronics. (fyi...don't even bring your KEYS!!) I said no and continued through security where I was told to have a sip out of my water bottle...haha.
Got into the embassy at around 7.40 and got the number I-901. At 8.15 I was called....and it begins!!
There was a younger English man sitting there. He asked for my appointment letter and passport, then went to get my file (about 1 inch thick BRIGHT pink thing). He took my Birth certificate + copy, Police certificates from both UK and Canada (he noticed I lived there for 2 years), 2 photos, I-134 + letter from Chris's employer. Also, my MRV receipt and fingerprints.
He asked if I ever had a US visa before... I have, so said yes and he asked what visa it was and told him it was an H4 which he said was fine. Then he sent me off with a Delivery form to fill in and told me to wait for the same number to be called.
At 9.15am I was called to the interview part and I was a nervous wreck!! This time it was a middle aged American man. He asked for my finger prints again, had me hold up my right hand to swear oath and sign a form. He then went on to ask me some questions:
- Does your Fiance go by Christopher or Chris: Chris
- How and when did we meet?
- What does Chris do?
- How long has he been in this profession?
- What do I plan to do for work when I get to the US?
- What did I study in Texas?
- When did we get engaged?
- How do you know Chris is the person you want to marry?
Then, I am glad approve your visa and congrats!! HAPPYYYYY FACE! lol I could have kissed him...plus the preggie hormones were REALLY kicking in.
So went to pay my 14.80 at the courier desk and was out by 9.30am!
YEAH BUDDY!!
