Bad dreams about upcoming AOS interview..
...last night dreamt that (among other things) we showed up at the interview and I had forgotten the big folder with EVERYTHING we need in it. Had to go back home and get it and when we came back we got a really strict woman who was being nasty to us, then I woke up.
I hope this isn't something that will recur! Our interview is on April 9th... tips on how to stay sane till then please?

Re: Bad dreams about upcoming AOS interview..
Thats nothing. Last night I had a dream about a gigantic octopus that had invaded and
taken over a cruise ship we were on. It had killed and eaten nearly everyone on
board, with only my wife and I surviving. After we spent the night in a small room
high up in the ship where we figured we would be safe, the octopus found us and began
breaking down the door. We fled for our lives, back down to the lower levels, where
we discovered the octopus had tossed overboard all the furniture and decorations, and
replaced them with large colorful seashells and sections of coral. It was just about
then I thought "We are in deep shit", and woke up.

Re: Bad dreams about upcoming AOS interview..
Sounds like the way I felt before my husband's AOS interview. I got so bad that not
only did I have the folder full of everything I could think of ready, but a box more
of just stuff that we left in the car (but it was handy just in case) Have you tried
reading other's interview experiences? http://www.kamya.com/interview/ That might
help - if you see others have survived the experience. It is hard when someone you
don't know has your future in your hands, but as long as you know you have everything
you need and have done all the things you are supposed to do, it will turn out all
right. I wish I could say something that would really make you feel good, but I know
the only thing will be walking out of the INS office after your successful interview.
That's when I took a big sigh of relief. Take Care. Shelley

That's scary I had a dream I was trapped in a room with Andrew DeFaria I think I'd
prefer the Octopus.

Re: Bad dreams about upcoming AOS interview..
Yes, try re-reading everyone elses experiences... its helped that I've had some friends go thru the interview very recently at the same office we'll be doing it and one of the couples didn't even have as much "proof" as we have... so I'm not so worried any more that I might not have as much as others....
I'm hoping we'll have just enough.
Hang in there and try to stop worrying- you made it this far, didn't you?
and at least the interviewer wasn't an octopus ;-)

Re: Bad dreams about upcoming AOS interview..
I think everyone feels like this just before the Consulate interview and AOS.
Because, as Shelley pointed out, your future is in the hands of some unknown
quantity. Provided you are a legitimate couple and have all your documents in order,
you are going to be just fine!! Believe me. You are going to come back like the rest
of us and say what a breeze it really was. As for tips on how to stay sane? That's a
tough one. I don't think anyone has figured that one out yet. Best wishes to you and
your spouse. Let us know how it goes. Ranjini

Re: Bad dreams about upcoming AOS interview..
Last night I dreamed I ate a giant bowl of tapioca pudding. I awoke with a spoon
in my nose.
I also dreamed I drank a giant margarita...I awoke to find salt on the toilet seat.
That should cheer you up.

Re: Bad dreams about upcoming AOS interview..
Thanks everyone, I really appreciate it. I have printed the interview experiences from kamya, will read them bit by bit. I think I will still be stressed though - I have an ulcer in my mouth which I only ever get when there is underlying stress.

Re: Bad dreams about upcoming AOS interview..
I think that when the time comes that i have to go to the interview i will be a complete wreck too. I was so nervous when i did the K1 interview and medical in london that my blood sugars kept dropping and i wanted to faint constantly, i managed to get through it somehow though...
Good luck I am sure that you will do better than i did
