My fiance, Lucy, got her visa on Tuesday (3/2/2010)!!!!  dude champagne dude

We got to the consulate at about 4:45am, and there was already people in line. Around 6 am they started letting people in. Fairly quickly we got called up to submit our form, and then a little later my fiance had her fingerprints done. After a little longer we had the interview and she was approved for the visas for her son and herself. I think we were out of there by 11:30 am or so.

I really don't have anything bad to say about my experience. All the people we dealt with were professional and friendly. The interview lasted less than 5 minutes. They asked my fiance where we met, one or two details of our meeting, and where I worked. I was asked the date we met, and we were approved. It was a bit anticlimactic. 

I did get to speak a little with the guy that interview us, and from what he said I guess the 145 pages of Skype chat logs (fights and all) were very effective in proving our relationship. So the moral of the story is document everything in your relationship as much as possible, it will only help you.

Thanks for everyone who answered my questions and thanks in advance for everyone who will answer more of my question when I start on the AOS's for her and her son.

Finally, in my critique of the immigration image of America, it is also important to know that we're not only a nation of immigrants, but we are in some part a nation of emigrants, which often gets neglected.
