Hi to all,
Just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for including me in your prayers. My daughter and I arrived here in the USA just yesterday. Interview went so smoothly and it was a very quick interview. During the pre-screening hubby and the filipino interviewer had a nice small talk about hubby's height

, he asked the primary documents required from me & daughter then, only the I-134, 2006 Form 1040, and copy of divorce decree. When he started asking snail mails, emails pictures and showed to him all what we got he already said the email was already enough and just our wedding picts hehehe

(i was too prepared and have lots of evidences since 1st - 5th visit of my hubby dear really lots of docs to present) He also looked on our previous K1 application and about our flight itinerary which was July 06 already. he said he is afraid that it might not be possible that we can have our visa right away (considering it will be a holiday the next day July 04), then told us to have our seats and wait for the final interview... just after a real few minutes our # flashed on the monitor and we went to room #28. I was nervous but glad that my hubby is there with me so i feel confident plus my lil daughter helps a lot... gesshh kids really have this special natural karisma. The consul was very nice and not so strict, she just asked a few question and my hubby and i already knew we are approved since she right away said that she cant guarantee yet that we can have our visa right away but all she can do is give us the pink stub so we can pick up the visa and asked my # so embassy will just call us when it is already ready. Our interview ended very very nicely with my daughter's sweet goodbye to the consul and vice versa. We waited for their call on July 5 up to 11 AM then we decided to go to the embassy instead of calling to ask for a follow up and then we waited until 1 PM until Window X opens. They told us that our papers still needs the sign of release from the consul and told us to just wait and if 30 min passed without an action yet we should call their attention. So we waited and then finally they called us and went to Window 34 and from there we were told that it still needs the signature from the releasing officer and the normal process for them after the consul sign, it will be forwarded to the releasing department and it takes 1 day before it could be done, but the man told us that they will do the best they can to have it signed and be released within the day. We also told him that we still need to go to CFO office for the stamp so we need it before the CFO office closes, We waited a lil longer and finally at 3:30+ we got our visa...

. I right away went to CFO office and had our passport stamped and it cost me 400 only to have the stamp for my daughter alone since i already have the certificate of counselling and as far as i remember on 2003 the cost was 250 something only. Gesshhh saved a lot!
We had a nice flight to Japan and at the Detroit POE we were sent to their office because our petition will already expire since we postponed our interview before and since we right away picked-up the visa i think the embassy weren't able to notice the expiration. The POE officers were nice and good thing i have our lil daughter helps a lot to lessen my tension, one officer started talking to her and said they all like babies in their office and she gave her juice and biscuit... yummm

And finally we arrived safely in my dear hubby's nest
Again Thank you so much for all your prayers. ( Arranging our flight right away somehow helped us to have our visa too soon).
by the way, the consul said that she does so much appreciates it when the petitioner comes during interview because it helps a lot when it comes to explaining. Good luck to all those who will have their interviews soon. Prayers helps a lot! God bless!
