Mostly Green, Under Review

Late yesterday evening, Wednesday, April 6, 2022, I sat thinking about Miss Desiree.   At the same time, half a world away, our Miss Desiree sat for an interview before a representative of these Untied States of America at the U.S. embassy in Manila.  For her, the day was Thursday, April 7, 2022.  And morning had just found Manila.

We have been waiting for nearly 2½ years for this day.  The interview is the final step in securing a U.S. visa for Desiree:

How did you meet your fiancée?  What does he do for Work?  What does he do for fun?

 After a five-minute interview, Desiree handed over several documents.  The consulate representative extended documents to Desiree.

Not quite a green light.  Government does not operate that way.   The case is “under review.”  Mostly green.  We must abide by formalities.  Normal.

Within a few days the case (and Desiree) will undergo a “status change,” and a visa will be issued.

Green light!
