im just wondering and so curious about this new thing..

recently, im seeing a growing number of peeps here were asked to come back for a second interview.. :blink:

why? why? why? :ranting:

did they all just have same consul that time?? like this consul is having a bad day frequently??

is this a trend?? is this a new addition to visa process??

i mean what's happening?? are they being strict "again" at USEM for some reason??

im really curious about it.. :innocent:

cos ive gone through the visa process too..

i know how hard it is to wait for every step of your journey..

i know how hard it is to wait when your case is still on AR..

and if this thing will be added to visa process.. (i hope NOT)

it will be another burden to couples waiting for their time to be together.. :cry:

anyways, do you guys have any idea why is this happening??

I really don't have any idea about this envy_me. I just heard from jego_ryu(Ann) that recently that's what happened to God's*Girl,who will have her 2nd interview. Hope it's not something as a new rule at the embassy. It's really bothering. A little bit ok for those applicants living in Manila. What about those applicants from far places? Like me, for example, from Davao. I'm glad I didn't have to go for 2nd interview but even if I won't have 2nd interview, I am still in worried cos they don't have the SENSE of URGENCY.

Bahala n si God s knila. :(

exactly, i mean i wont be surprise if..

they ask u to go back for the 2nd interview cos you're missing some documents or something..

but then if they asked you to go back and then after the second interview you go home with nothing..

that's a different story.. something's really wrong then..

i wonder if it applies to all consuls or there's just this one consul doin that..?? :unsure:

"i don't know much about love but i know that i love him.."

Posted (edited)

what also bothers me is that ive never heard cases like that before..

i mean it just started this august '08 that we're hearing 2nd interviews, if im not mistaken.. :unsure:

could be they think that this could be a fraud case and just want to make sure the second interview answers are the same as first interview and you get all the facts right. most of the time when you need to summit more doc. you just have to drop off at window.

i dont know why either this is just a guess on my part so dont panic

Hi God's Girl! which window number ba yan consul na yan? It makes me worried reading your experience and am glad envy me brought this up. I am from Bicol pa and have my 2 girls, I can't imagine ourselves being asked for a 2nd interview with the increasing fares and hotel rates, too bad.

Good luck on your next interview.

Thanks.

I think that is like throwing sheep to the wolves.

Seems like most of the admin reviews are coming from one or two COs and the cos dont have the tact to realize that some of the filipina nature/culture makes some of them quite docile and when confronted with very personal questions .....the cos do not get fast snappy answers they are looking for.

Then the co gets suspicious, and does not realize that they are talking to a very nice gentile woman with a good morale code. Then they start drilling them with the questions that should not have any bearing on the pass or no pass of the interview. My fiancee was drilled about why if she was a good girl that we have a picture together in the hotel room on the bed. What was she doing in the private room with me? Why were we in the bed together? Even though we both had all of our cloths on, and you have to think ... someone took the picture. They are so busy drilling the lady that she does not even have a fair chance to explain. So the COs are just pushing perfectly inocent people in a corner then causing lots of undo stress.

Yes there job is to weed out the bad people, but they are trying to deny perfectly good relationships, not to mention wonderful people that will support our social system of family. I am throughly convienced that my wife to be is so much better mentaly and emotionaly than any woman I could fing reasonabley in my community, and I am sure that many of you hold the same values.
