SUCCESS !!!!
Ok after all that prep work the interview took all of 5 minutes apparently. And its done. The visa was approved and her Passport should come back with it in the next couple of days. I don't know whether to jump for joy or be suspicious of it being 'too easy'? After all the horror stories I have heard of it was alsmot a let down for it to go so swiftly. Ironic considering if ever there were a simple open and shut case it is ours so perhaps just for once the process worked the way it should. Relatively painlessly and almost swiftly (still took an awful long time to get to the point where we could have an interview). So time from submital of I-129f to interview approval of visa was a shade under 6 months. December 21st acceptance of paperwork - June 9th approval. Of course this is just the first leg in the process. We will continue to document our experience as we go through the entrance process and application for change of status, awarding of the PRC with temporary condition
