Prelude to the Interview

04:30am my alarm goes off...gosh it is already 4:30am I say to my self. My wife is already up and about trying to get our daughter dressed. I can hear the birds singing to me 'Get up go get the visa'. Friends this place is cold even for me who has lived in Holland for a couple of years. Anyway I head to the shower with the plan to shower cold water but hmmmm....not a good idea at all so I have no choice but to turn on the heater and wait like for another 30 minutes. I get back and double check or should I say triple check our documents. I murmur to myself, after 1 year and 5 months is this what it has come to? A few minutes before the CO? DV2015 I am afraid yes it is...so guys am off to take the shower and wait for my taxi. Will come back to give you an update...till then so long.
Hope you're in queu now, shake the chilly weather man, hold your daughters hand & all will be well - Niao!

Interview Experience
...so we get into a taxi and head to the embassy...it is about 05:45am and we get to the embassy at about 5 for 6:00am. I notice a number of people already queuing and I am wondering if they pitched tent there over night. Anyway I pay the cab driver and join the queue, men in their own queue and women in their own. Because we have a baby, we were moved to the front of the queue (God at work) and at exactly 6am the gate opens. The security guards do their 'thing' and we head to a reception where they check your passport and appointment letter. Again at this point we are placed at the front of the queue because of the baby we have. We go through a second gate and again under security check. At this point anything electronic is left behind including CDs, DVDs e.t.c. We then head to the main reception point inside the embassy office and present our passport and appointment letter and we a given ticket number. Thirty minutes later we am called to counter 5 and we hand in all the documents requested for and are given back our old pictures and and invoice. I head to the counter and pay the visa fees and return the receipt to counter 5. Then the waiting begins...after about an hour we are called at Window 8, they take our finger prints and we are asked to wait for the interview. Ten minutes later we are called to counter 10, I get to counter 10 and my daughter wanted to touch the microphone and the oldish lady warned me not to allow my daughter touch the microphone. So I hand my daughter back to my wife and was carrying my daughter.
CO: Asks my wife and I to raise our right hands and repeat after her....do you blah blah
Wife & I: we do
CO: What did you do after high school?
Me: Went to University
