Visa appointment

Today I had my Visa appointment.

at 9.15 I was ouside the embassy, proffesionally dressed (in a pantsuit) and

wit all my papers and money in my hands. I had no purse (if you have you can't come in, but have to go somewhere else and put it in a locker) but my cellphone, my Ipod and my Visa card in my hands.

in the line outside an security guard asked me who I was, if he could se my papers and my ds 156 form. Everything was OK, he only told me to turn of my phone when I entered the security buildng.

after waitin one hour in line outside i could come in.

I had to leave all my stuff in the security building,

only bringing my forms inside.

Inside the embassy I had to wait in the first line in about 15 minutes.

When I arrived to the coun rthe lady asked me for my forms,

and I gave her my ds 156 form, and my I-797b form.

then I gave her my passport and payed 700 kr.

She said: "Oh, you are well prepared, I like that. If everybody came as you, this would go so much faster" The she asked me if I wantet to pick up the Passport with my Visa at the embassy or I they should send it to me. I saied I would come and get it, and she gave me a number (39) and I had to sit down and wait until my number was called.

after waiting about one hour more, (I was reading Discover America while I was waiting) my number appeared on the screen, and i had to go to another counter to be interviewd.

she asked me why I wanted to go to Disney world, What my tasks would be, if I ever have been arrested, What I would do when I got back from Disney, Why it was written that my occupation was bothyouth worker and student and if any of my mother or father was born outside Norway.

after those questions she gave me an receipt with a number, and she put a similar one on my passport, and she said that I could come and get it on monday at 3.pm.

I'm one step closer to leaving !

just 18 days now people=)

Peace and love!
