SHAPE OF MY HEART
Hi my fellows,

I am scheduled for Interview on 12th May , 2008 at 7:30am.

Any VJ members who would like to meet?

Maybe we can set for our meeting place while waiting for the time at the Embassy.

I think i plan to be there at 5:00am. biggrin.gif

Thank you All..

FYI, you might want to meet there much earlier than 5am. By 5am, there will already be a long line. Even if you're there by 3am, there will be a line, but will most likely save you more time.

Good luck with the interview!

Wow, 3:00 am is way too early. If I remember right, you will be called according to the time of your schedule so even if you are there at 3:00 am but your schedule is still at 8:00 am, those that came with a 7:00 am interview will still be called ahead even if they only arrive at 5:00am. Unless of course you are hundreds of kilometers away from the embassy ( but we all want to be as near to the embassy as possible the day before the interview) or if your interview schedule is as early as 5:00 am then 3:00 am would be just right.

My interview was scheduled at 7:30 am and I was in the embassy at exactly 5:00 am. Yes, there were already a lot of people there, but by 6:00 o'clock they already started calling the applicants according to their time schedule. Those who had 7:00 interview scheds were called first to go inside the embassy.

Just my opinion and goodluck to everyone!!

Geez! 5:00am is just a right time for me. Unless , there are some VJ members here who would respond for the eyeball, of course that obviously be set earlier than 5:00am , but since none yet responding, so 5:00am to be there is good..

Right, it's being called according to the scheduled time, and not the so called "unahan sa pila", FYI too.. whistling.gif Anyway, peace.. Thanks for good lucking me.. smile.gif

as long as your not late then you're good whatever time you arrive lol... although! lol... in my case i could say im a bit way too early lol... i stayed at bayview hotel and i was pacing on the floor (doing some jumping jack coz i couldnt sleep), twisting and turning on the bed, then back to walking and pacing on the floor again. and by 2:30 a.m i gave up sleeping and head to the bathroom and took a shower lol... so here's my timeline luv.gif by 3 am i prayed for guidance and by 3:30 a.m i went down and saw the few people (in the waiting shed) already. but i decided to get a hot choco at the 7 Eleven store. 3:45 a.m i paid P5 to a lady for her rent a chair business lol and by 4a.m the embassy guard told us that those who got 6:30 a.m interview sked especially under immigrant appointment may fall inline already. so we walked to the embassy and they check our id and appointment letter and let us get in and took a seat in their waiting shed... by 5 a.m my husband texted me to wake me up coz im might be late in my interview lol (he didnt know ive been awake all night long)... by 6 a.m they let us go inside and gave a priority number and do all the finger scanning, pre-interview and the final interview... by 8:45 a.m i was approved and out of the embassy lol... then i felt how tired i am and how i felt like im floating in the air like im on drugs or something coz i was so freakin over fatigue and tired lol... by 9:00 a.m i was in the hotel room already and passed out lol

So far, i have seen 2 other vj members thats scheduled same with mine 12 May at 7:30am

Mind to meet up there?
TinTin and Samby
FYI...during our interview, we arrived at 7:15am for our 7:30am interview. No lines at all. We were in the blue seats within 5 minutes of arriving at the embassy. By my estimate, there was only about a 45 minute differrence in the finish time of those that ARRIVED FIRST and those that ARRIVED LAST for a given appointment time slot (e.g. 7:30am). The folks that arrived FIRST for the 7:30am appointment time slot got there at before 4am and the LAST arrived at 7:30am. So for me, for a 45 minute delay, I much prefer to arrive at 7:15am instead of sit outside and wait from 4am!!!!

Good Luck to all!

Warm Regards,
Samby
