Hi shes, thanks ha, i was so happy tlaga na my interview experience was a hassle-free one. It so happen that i was just assigned on a nice staff and consul. I cant even believe that my consul interview was just very short, but thats the way God wants it to happen. Thanks again, and good luck on your interview. Maybe the reason why the pre screener ask me about my job and course because my fiance attached my employment certification and school records as part of my identification when he submitted our docs to USCIS. Well, anyway, ang importante, natapos na rin lahat. God bless you sis. Good luck again.

Thanks God's Girl, oo nga bili na kami ticket, baka August 15 flight ko, tingnan lng namin ng fiance ko. Thanks ha. God bless sa ating lahat. Good luck sa next journey natin. I'm glad tapos na kami sa K1 process.

Congratulations!

I told to my fiance not to buy my plane ticket until the visa not in my hands but he did after 2 days of my interview and the visa should be delivered on Apri 10 but it was delayed of 2 days. And I have known someone that her fiance were bought her a plane ticket after the interview on June 23, 2008 and assumed that she will received her visa by end of june and set their wedding on july 04, 2008 but unluckily she didn't got her visa until now and still waiting for the delivery.

Buying a ticket before having the visa in your hand might not be so smart. Wait until your visa is in your hands. It will come at the right time.

Goodluck!

Morning of August 5, at 7am was my interview schedule at USEM. I went there with Jennifer (gabrielle8). We were there an hour early. Weather is not good, it rains hard, we were standing at the waiting area like wet chicks. At about 6:30 or so, we were advised to get inside the embassy. Before that, of course we have to pass through the guard.

Requirement: 1 valid ID with the appointment letter from US Embassy.

Note: You have to go to the line based on what category you belong (K1, k3, etc). You are not allowed to bring cellphones or any electronic device with you.

After you pass through the guard, you still have to pass on security check on your personal things. Then, thats the time that you can get inside the main building of the USEM. From the entrance you have to turn left, just go staright. Anyway, there are guards in every corner, you can just ask them where to go.

We were directed to go to immigrant visa unit (i am a K1 beneficiary). Almost all applicants were directed on that unit regardless if they're K1, k3, tourist, family visa, etc. They serve on a first come first serve basis.

You are ask to prepare, 2 copies of your ds156, 2 copies of ds157 and 1 copy of ds156k, appointment letter, passport and medical result. ( For the majority including me, you dont have to worry about passport and medical result because St. Luke already forwarded it to them. Just tell them that your passport and medical result are at St. Luke, dont worry much or else you'll have heart attack, hahahah, joke) In case St. luke return to you your passport and medical result during your medical appointment, don't forget to bring that with you on your interview.

Important Reminders: Never leave any information blank on your DS forms to avoid delays. If you dont have answers to the questions asked, just write in, N/A or NONE.

After the DS Forms were checked, you will be given a priority #. After that, find place for you to sit down and pay attention to the # displayed on the screen.

Note: Always keep with you that # until you're done.

First step: You will be called for finger printing. (make sure finger is dry, just follow simple instruction)

2nd step : Your # will be flashed again for pre-screening.

On my case, i was assigned to a nice lady (pre-screener), she is not that very much friendly, but i found her very nice and very professional. i was asked a couple of questions like:

1. What's my name?

2. How old I am?

3. Who is my petitioner?

4. How old is he?

5. Where and when did i meet him?

6. How long do we know each other?

7. Did he came here to see me? When? for how long?

8. Is he married before?

9. Divorce? How many times?

10. Does he has any kids? how many?

11. How many times he came here in Philippines to see you?

12. Am i single?

13. Do i have any kids?

14. Am I working?

15. What course?

16. Did you travel abroad before?

After asking me those qeustions, she told me to give to her my birth certificate (NSO copy), NBI Clearance, CENOMAR. After she checked those documents she then asked me to provide her our proof of relationship, like, emails, chat logs, pictures of my fiance and I together. (Phone bills were not asked on me, she told me i will just present it to the consul in case it is needed together with some other proofs). After checking again those documents i handed, she then ask me to give to her the ITR with w2 and Affidavit of Support. After that, she advised me to sit down and wait til my name is called for consul interview.

When my # flashed on the screen for consul interview, i waited a couple of minutes til i was told to get inside the room. The consul assigned to me, was nice. And she didnt ask so much. My interview lasted in less than 1 minute only. Here are the questions asked as she also go over to our documents at the same time. Before that she told me to raised my right hand and do the swear: The questions are these:

1. what's my name?

2. Who is my petitioner?

3. Is he married before?

4. Divorce? How many times?

5. Does he has any kids? How many? How old are they?

6. Whats his job?

Then she told me, CONGRATULATIONS! Welcome to US soon. You can now go outside and wait til your name is called for releasing and for you to pay Delbros for visa delivery. You speak good english. You are now approved. And she gave back to me, the pictures of my fiance and i together, emails and chatlogs. I told her, thank you with a big smile.

As i went out, about 2-3 minutes, "Releasing Section" called my name and the guy who is In-Charge only handed me the PINK SLIP!!!!!!!!!! yohooooooooooooooo, i was sooooooooooooo happy, and he again told me congratulations and he advised me to pay delbros for visa delivery.

After there, i went to delbros section, handed them the pink slip. Delbros give me 1 form to fill up. I paid them, only Php 250 for the delivery. I ask them why 250, in fact i am from the province, they said, for Cagayan de Oro City applicant they only let us pay the said amount, so that was the end of that big day!!!!!!!!!! Thank God....

Congratulations!

In my case, my fiance bought my plane ticket after 2 days of my interview even if i told him not to buy until the visa is not in my hands. We're just lucky that i received my visa a week after of my interview. And i have known someone that her fiance were bought her a plane ticket after the interview on June 23, 2008 and assumed that she will received her visa by end of june and set their wedding on july 04, 2008 but unluckily she didn't got her visa until now and still waiting for the delivery.

Buying a ticket before having the visa in your hand might not be so smart. Wait until your visa is in your hands. It will come at the right time.

Goodluck! B)

hello there! based on the USEM policy, IT IS NOT ALLOWED and everybody who already had their interview suggested not to bring celfones.

In my case, my fiance bought my plane ticket after 2 days of my interview even if i told him not to buy until the visa is not in my hands. We're just lucky that i received my visa a week after of my interview.
