hi everyone,

i'd like to share with you my interview experience at US Embassy Manila...

-got there 6am, fell in line, showed appointment letter and ID to guard then was told to take a seat

-guard checked my DS forms then told me to go inside Gate 2

-security check, XRay of bags, checking of belongings (NO CELLPHONES / GADGETS ALLOWED)

-went inside and followed BLUE arrows heading to Immigrant Visa Unit (K-1, K-3, tourist visa applicants go here)

-guard told me to sit down (BLUE chairs) and wait for my turn for document check coz queue was still long

-fell in line, lady staff checked DS forms to see if there are blank spaces (2 copies 156,1 copy 156K,3 copies 157 but they got the one with the BANK VALIDATION and gave me back the other one coz they only need 2 copies) NOTE: DO NOT LEAVE ANY BLANK SPACES OR ELSE THEY WILL ASK YOU TO GO BACK AND FILL IT OUT THEN FALL IN LINE AGAIN.

-lady staff gave number stub (mine was 7012) and told me to sit down and wait for my name to be called

-after 40mins, number flashed in Window 26 for Pre-Screening (i was shocked coz i thought Finger Scanning should be done first )

-Filipina staff asked for BC, NBI clearance, Notarized Affidavit of Support, tax forms, pictures and emails ONLY (and i brought a whole bunch of evidences thinking that they might ask for it, well so far they didn't..)

-asked me couple of questions like: "who's your petitioner?", "where did you meet him?", "when was the last time you saw him?", "when was his first visit?", "what's his job?" (she even asked me about my trip to Singapore and Malaysia and told her i was there for tourist visa most of the time, good thing i wasn't required a Police Certificate anymore... )

-after looking at the pics and emails, she just got some and gave me back the rest then told me to sit down and wait for my name to be called for Finger Scanning

-after 30mins, was called to Window 16 for Finger Scanning (NOTE: hands should be dry and not sweaty)

-when done,was told to sit down in the BLUE chairs and wait for my number to flash on the queue board.

-after 40mins, number flashed in Window 32 for Consul Interview (kept praying and crossing my fingers..)

-my CO is a blue-eyed white guy in his mid 40's or 50's. he greeted me with a smile and told me to raise my right hand and swear. then, asked me questions like: *who's your petitioner?, how did you meet him?, how many visits and when?, what does he do for a living?...then after reading my information, he asked both our ages and why i decided to marry my fiance despite the age gap and barely knowing him for 2 months.. (i told him i didn't care about our age gap, it's his characteristics that i fell in love with...) then he read that i was a singer and asked me if this was my job overseas, i said yes. after reading our packet and typing something in the computer, he told me to wait outside for my number to be called. before heading out, i had the courage to ask him if i'm approved, he just said that they don't see any problem with my case but they just need ONE LAST PIECE of information to finalize everything. so i went out with my heart thumping so fast because i kept thinking that they might ask for more evidence (i was thinking of the worst already)

-then when my name was called to Window 37, the guy told me that my case is pending due to DOCUMENT VERIFICATION and that's the only thing i need to wait for so that they can release my visa. (i was already expecting this since i paid DV only last week before my interview, just thought there might be something else...) whew!

-he gave me PINK AND WHITE slip and told me to pay visa delivery at Delbros counter.

-filled out form, paid Php250 and was told to wait for their text message for the delivery. then went home. done by 10am..

Finally, i'm done with this stage... just the last part which is the waiting for my DV results to be released and my visa to be delivered... so far, i therefore conclude that i PASSED!!!! YAY!!!!! :dance: now i believe that things really are QUICKER after the approval... so to those who haven't been approved yet, just hang on and your time will come soon. Be strong and keep the faith, He's there with you all the way...

I owe BIG thanks to the BIG GUY ABOVE,He really made my day....

To my VJ family and friends (bluemist, vida, lady23, jury, sweetybabe, jsphnlvsmrk, robertkrizzie17, Brian-Charisma, Sheriff Uling for his guidelines, Sillygirl again for her helpful USE layout, o0pink0o) for their support, goodluck's and prayers...

Lastly, to my soon-to-be husband PAUL... my happiness is beyond mere words hun, i can't imagine life without you and i'm soo soo happy we're just a few steps away in being together... we are a team and will forever be... i love you so much!!!

so few more weeks to wait wait wait and it all pays off once i get my visa... then pack pack pack.... and cry cry cry... *sigh* everything in the NAME of LOVE
