I think the answer can be"i will not be happy,and that you have come these far,or you don't even want to think about that cos you have all the evidence to proof that your marriage is geniue.make sure you don't give then an alternative,don't say i will go to court or i will bring her in with student or visiting visa,dont say that.make sure you say it politely that you just believe it will be granted cos you have never though about a refusal and that you believe it will be granted.tell them you wouldn't even know where to pick the pieces of your life back that you don't want to think about it.ok.I hope this helped.I WISH YOU THE VERY BEST ON THE 28TH AND PRAY IT WILL COME OUT GLORIOUS.

I know non of us works at the Visa Office but we post information based on our ongoing application and experience. My question is from the heading of the letter from ephyssy, it says Your Immigrant Visa appears ready to be issued. Does it mean they dont go through the file transfered until the Visa appears to be ready or the treat the file ensure that the visa is ready before invitation.
