Thanks for everyone's good wishes. And good luck with your application, Brian. I won't get any details about what happened in the interview till Mel gets home and back on Yahoo tomorrow. All I can gather so far is that the interview was scheduled for 8am there, but no idea what time it actually took place. I got a txt around 7am here saying she had to go back to the Embassy at 4pm/8am "to get the results", which alarmed me somewhat... Did they not tell her the result when the interview finished?? Why would they delay a decision? I spent a few nail-biting hours before she finally told me she had the visa!

Anyway, all the learning and Q/A sessions must have paid off. It's been hard work and stressful at times, but the result has been worth every gallon of blood we've sweated Just don't make me go through it ever again!
