Thanks for the best wishes. We dropped the passport off at the embassy on Monday morning. The lady took it, put it in a plain envelope and asked for contact phone numbers. She said we would receive it back in approximately 3 weeks. We?re also really glad we don?t have to deal with waiting for an interview.
I just wanted to add, I think we did a good job filling out the forms, like everybody else, we were never asked to send in any more information or to redo anything, but it?s worth noting that we sent in very few pictures, 8 or 10 I think, no phone bills, no plane tickets, no receipts, just a letter from each of us explaining our relationship. So for anybody who?s nervous because they don?t have as much as someone else, apparently it doesn?t always make a difference.
