My husband said when he walked up to the window he had already seen his application was approved because there was a pink slip marked with approved.He also mentioned their minds are basically made up already and that the front loading of our petition really helped. He says remainn calm and confident and and its good to hit them with evidence when they ask a question.for example when they ask oh have u met her son he showed them pics....when they asked does your family like her he then showed family pics....she was nice and gave plenty of time for you to answer questions...he said they basically want you to proove your petition is bonafide...he say their were alot of approvals today and only two denials!
