Good morning! The kitties are surfing along here.

The GREAT news for today is Sébastien's @Photorecon K1 visa got approved this morning!!!
The interviewer only asked him one question: how did we meet? We met right here on FDMB! She said it was the most unique answer she has heard. I am super happy!! Here he is with his approval letter welcoming him to the United states!



Have a great day!
Amanda and Kitty Osha, The Empress

 

How wonderful! I'm sure you're both super excited.

 

All the worry, preparation and wait, and then interviewer asked the most simplest question possible. Félicitations.

 

So nice to hear wonderful news! Good for you!

 

That's awesome news Amanda! Congratulations to you and Sebastien!
Of course the interviewer had to believe him....certainly no one could just come up with a story like that!
And the kitties are doing so well!

 

This is the most heartwarming thing that I have heard in a long time. Wow you guys, just wow! Congratulations!

 

Hi everyone !

I barely slept last night in fear there would me a magic form I didn't have for the interview or a tricky question I would
not have had answered fluently enough for the immigration agent. Had prepared myself for weeks before this event
and was confident it couldn't be a disaster but still.. The first agent I met to verify my documents had come up with no
less than 3 things that were ''wrong''. 3 documents were not the originals making her writing something on top of the
file and highlighting it with her yellow marker something like 7 times. I think she liked the fact I had more stuff for her
(not on the list they gave me). Had two jobs letters, tax reports, W-2s... She told me it was ok, to sit down and wait
my number to be called. The interviewer told me I have had trouble crossing the border in 2011 (which was not the case).
When I told her this must not be accurate she rechecked and said the file she had was of someone with a very similar name
that was ''red flagged''. I stayed calm cause I've nothing to hide. The next and only question after that was how we
met. ''In 2017 we both learned that our cats were diabetics and we met on a Diabetic Cat Resource Group Site''.
''That's the most original answer to this question I ever had'', she said. I then told her that Small Kitty was already a
US citizen cause I could just bring one cat per trip at the time. I stopped right there expecting more question but there
were not. ''Your visa is approved'' she said.

We're not out of the mud, there is still more obstacles to overcome but will take them one at a time.

Wish you have all good news like that one !

Sébastien.

 

I'm so happy for you both.

 

What a wonderful description! So glad it all went smoothly for you!! I can't wait to see how things proceed and we can all officially WELCOME you to the US to stay Delightful!! I'll be the agent you met with will be talking about that one later today

 

Congratulations Amanda!!! Delightful news for both of you!!! Woo hoo!!!

 

Congratulations! So happy for you both
