YES! i just had my interview today April 29, 2008,. and it wasn't very nice experience for me.. CO was mean to me... i expect him to be nice because he was very good to those couple who were interviewed before me,. but he wasn't nice at all.. maybe because i was alone and my fiance wasn't there with me... i don't know...
My experience was kinda traumatic... and made me think that i will never set a foot in the US Embassy again... my mind is trying to forget it,. so don't ask me to recall about it...
It wasn't my LUck to have a nice CO with a big smile and say "Good morning" back to me....
I envy those girls i met who shared their pleasant interview experiences,. their CO were very nice and smiles alot,... and asked them only 2 to 5 questions,.
the nice words i heard from my CO when i asked him if I'm approved and he said "i think everything is OK, just wait and pay for the visa delivery"

I received a PINK slip,. then paid Delbros for visa delivery..

When i got back to the hotel i texted my Chris and he called me,. I cried over the phone and told him about my unpleasant interview experience.. he's very supportive and wished he was here with me...
I hope that the document verification stuffs will be over soon so i could have my visa already before my flight (May 16th)
I really want to be with Chris so bad cuz i miss him like crazy,... I LOVE YOU HONEY

for those people who's going to have their interview soon,. Stay pretty inside and out no matter what happen... and remember that TWO OF THE HARDEST TESTS IN LIFE: 1. THE PATIENCE TO WAIT FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT
2. THE COURAGE TO ACCEPT WHATEVER YOU ENCOUNTER

GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME!!! KEEP ON PRAYING!!!

Sorry to hear about having a bad CO, but CONGRATULATIONS ShaSha! I pray that you will have your visa before your flight. God bless you!

tHANK YOU SOOO MUCH...

Hi Xhaxha! My heart goes out to you (even if I don't know how bad it really was). I think the COs are sometimes manhid and don't really understand what we go through, how hard we prepare for the interview, and how badly we want this experience to be pleasant and to be done as quickly and as painlessly as possible. But based on a lot of posts here, it's not always easy and fast. Tingnan mo na lang and threads about Doc Verification, sobrang dami.

But you know what's good about the "bad" things/ experiences that God allows us to encounter? It's knowing that yes, as you've said,GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME , even if the circumstances say otherwise. He is the Sovereign God whose purposes and plans cannot be thwarted.

Just take heart and joy in the fact na you got the pink slip and you will soon be with your honey!! You will be able to look back then and laugh about your experience - which I know has made you stronger and tougher. Maybe you needed that experience to prepare you for life in America, hehe. Congratulations and God bless you.

Congrats! As others have stated, sometimes there are bumps in the road, but thank God you made it through. In fact, I have always stated that the visa stage of the process is the worst primarily because everyone is separated from the one that the love for some period in time not to mention that things happen. Whether it's a mean guard at the SLMEC, the constant run around because of "proper identification" at the NSO after waiting for 82 hours (I'm exaggerating a bit), the document verification process failing, or whatever, it's always something. God bless the couple that is graced enough not to experience any snags in the road.

It's simply not easy any way you slice it...

Cheers!!!

Sorry to hear about the experience you had.But what is important you got what you are hoping for.You deserve a Congratulations!!!! .Have a safe trip too

hi sorry to hear that you have a bad experienced with ur interview..

CO - Is that done by the US Embassy or is that part of the CFO Process?

I feel sorry about your experienced at the USEM.
but atleast u made it through.. so CONGRATULATION!!!!

I´m sorry to hear about that... But true it´s one thing not to dwell on. Forget about the CO. Be glad and wear a big smile coz you´re blessed with a successful interview, you got approved! And youre lucky to have a very supportive fiance! These are just few things to be glad about and thank God for!!!! Im sure you´re blessed with more...Just be happy... and CONGRATS!!! GOD bless you always....

If this was done inside the US Embassy.

You should of stood up and corrected the person if they were out of line.

Of course every story has three sides. Your side, their side and the truth.

I am not saying you are lying, but if what you say is true, then you should not of let anyone treat you that way.

We as Americans do not let people overrun people, it is our nature to stand up for the less fortunate.

I can understand if this was done on the Philippine side of Immigration, But if this was done inside any part of the US Embassy you should of taken action

THANK YOU GUYS FOR THE SUPPORT, I FEEL MUCH BETTER NOW.. I MEAN, YOU GUYS MADE ME FEEL BETTER
(SPECIALLY MY CHRIS)... THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH
AS WHAT I'VE SAID, I WANT TO FORGET EVERYTHING ABOUT MY INTERVIEW,. I JUST WANT TO SHARE THAT NOT EVERYONE WILL HAVE A GREAT INTERVIEW EXPERIENCE...ABSOLUTELY NOT ME..
SO THIS IS IT, I GOT THE PINK SLIP WHICH MEANS I'M APPROVED, AND I THINK IT'S TIME FOR ME TO WEAR A BIG SMILE ON MY FACE AND I WILL MAKE IT BIGGER(EAR TO EAR) WHEN I HAVE THE VISA ON MY HANDS.....
AND BIGGEST SMILE WHEN I WILL BE WITH MY CHRIS.. CAN'T WAIT..

BE THANKFUL THAT YOU DON'T HAVE EVERYTHING YOU DESIRE,
if you did, what would there be to look forward to?

BE THANKFUL FOR THE DIFFICULT TIMES,
it's during those times you grow..

BE THANKFUL FOR YOUR LIMITATIONS,
because they give you opportunities for improvement...

BE THANKFUL FOR YOUR MISTAKES,
they will teach you valuable lessons...

FIND A WAY TO BE THANKFUL FOR YOUR TROUBLES AND THEY WILL BECOME YOUR BLESSINGS....


GOD BLESS US ALL.....

I am unsure about all of this I am new to this site and this forum ! What are the blue slips and pink slips and green slips for that i have been reading about ! Also I am unsure did they approve you or deny you ! My Fiancee had our K1 visa last week and it was hell we got denied because the CO said by our pictures he believe that we were married. We did get a marriage license but did not use when my fiancee was on a Tourist visa but did not use because we hear that it can be consider fraudlent. So my fiancee returned to her home country and waited for seven months for us to be married on a K1 visa ! Now we are devastated because the officer denyed what we did legal to do ! So we are working with an attorney to help appeal and also we have contacted or congressman ! So do you have any advice for us !!!! If you or any want to share stories we would love to hear from you !!!! Stuck in Juarez Mexico Chuck and Teresa

CONGRATS xhaxha!!!

Sagdi na lang tong consul basi ningcopus na cya mao gisapot-sapot but the good thing there is YOU WERE APPROVED!!! and you will soon be in the loving arms of your SO.

Be strong always and continue drawing strength from God.

People here on VJ told me that PINK slip means that i am approved.. I'm not sure about the other slips(blue and green).
After my interview, before i paid Delbros for Visa Delivery, i talked to some people who are working there(USE), they said that i am approved,. and it's time for me to celebrate.. but in my opinion, I am not fully convinced until i have the Visa on my hands, i hope it wont take long,.
I'm sorry to hear about your interview,. did your CO tell you right away(during your interview) that you are denied?
I'm just curious...

If you have some concerns people here on VJ are willing to help you...
Maybe you should ask sheriiff Uling regarding your concerns... i think he's a good adviser...

God bless you and Be strong.... there is sunshine after the rain!!!

Pink slip it means your visa is APPROVED..

Mine is pink (a year ago)

Congratulations

hi xhaxha,

I'm sorry for the experience you had with the consul but hey u got pink slip!! so cheer up

I hope you'll get your visa very soon
God Bless!!


PiNk

So sorry about your interview experience, but something good came out of it at the end!
Congratulations on getting your Visa!!!

congrats!!!god is good all the time....you made it even if u had a bad interview experience...same with mine..hehehehe

Sha Sha,

Maybe in time, when you feel much better specially when you already have the visa in your hands, you can share your experience. I'm pretty sure many are quite interested to know about it Pero kung ayaw mo talaga, ok lang Pero, sige na, share mo when you have your visa, ok? Please? LOL, parang ayaw kong sumuko

You will surely have your visa soon!

-Riza

I am ShaSha's fiance and I dont agree with what was just said. When you are there alone and the CO is a jerk you have no choice but to take it. This CO has the power to not give an approval also. If I would have been there with her, ofcourse I would have said something to the CO but ShaSha is a very cute and quiet person. I have been there 3 times this past year and just there in Feb so couldnt get time off work so soon to be with her. If we had known the interview woud be so quick I would have waited. Bottom line this guy was nice to the couples and a jerk to the girls that were alone. ShaSha was crying so hard when I called her after the interview because of the way this CO treated her and talked to her. Dont know if he was having a bad day or what but wish I could see him oneday. Goodluck everyone. I love you ShaSha and miss you so much. Dont worry beautiful we will be together soon and dont let this guy get you upset anymore because you never have to see him again.

thank you.. from now on I will love that color PINK.... hehehe... thanks again...

I love you too honey, thanks for the love and support.. hope to get the visa soon,. so we will be together forever... i miss you soo much.. May God continually bless and give you more success!!

I understand about a PI girl being there alone and getting ran over by some official in charge, It seems to be very common in PI.

It makes me angry regarding how she was treated. That is one reason I plan on attending my fiances interview, just in case a CO person starts to be rude with her.

Was this done inside the U.S. Embassy?

Yes this was in the US Embassy during her interview process.
