Interview Passed!

[Aimee and Albert 0]

Hi everyone. Just want to let you all know that my wife passed her interview yesterday! Yay!

Here is her account:

Everything went fine with the consulate officer. Except that it was a long wait period. There were so many people there. I arrived 715am., and I was done with the process at 1215pm. So to all of you having an interview in the Manila US Embassy, allow yourself probably 4-5 hours of total wait and processing times.

There was a pre-screener who was more meticulous than the consul. The pre-screener asked for our evidence (emails, chats, pictures, etc.)The consul pretty much asked me questions from our forms like he was using them as a guide. Pretty much information from our biographic forms.

Oddly enough, the pre-screener didn't ask for our other original documents. But, that's not to say that you should not bring them. It's still a good idea to bring those documents because you might encounter a pre-screener or consul who is different. In other words, just come prepared.

My overall experience was that it was tiring. Just a long process. But it was worth the wait.

My wife and I would like to thank all those who contributed thoughtfully all their experience to these forums and their support as well. And to all those who personally helped us (you know who you are ), thank you soo much

For all you newbies and those on your way, just hang in there and never give up your faith and hope...

This website is more than just information. It's about a support group from people all over the world to come together and share their experiences. And through those experiences, wisdom will follow for others to hear. Whatever your journey in the visa process may entail, we hope and pray that you and your loved ones are blessed and protected. Just be patient, for it is in His time.

God Bless you all....
