VISA APPROVAL and CFO

We finally got the pink!

Interview went out very smooth, during the pre-interview, a very young gentleman on window 21 ( looks like he just stepped into college) asked some simple questions and asked me to submit proof of relationship and pictures, I have prepared these the VJ (members) way so it was neat and very easy to understand.( Thanks for all your suggestions!).

During interview with CO, he just ask about 4 things,

1. What is your name?

2. When is your birthday?

3. Who is your husband?

4. What is the job of my husband?

CO checked the i-864 he has in front of him ( submitted to NVC)and typed something in the computer in front of him and said " YOUR APPLICATION FOR VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED"

My husband asked if we can pick up the visa , CO said "no problem" , we were asked to wait for our name to be called on window Y, then window Y called my name and ask for my number and said they will call me as soon as the visa packet is ready.

We went back to the hotel before 10 , change into our comfy clothes and I got ourselves ready to go to PRISM for the pre departure counseling, We reached PRISM around passed 11 AM,

I was asked to fill -up a 3 page paper work ,asked to submi a PHOTOCOPY of marriage certificate and valid ID,and PAY 250 pesos,then assigned to join the 1:30 session. I saw many girls still waiting for them to be called and get their certificates,I saw somebody who is just 19 years old with a much older fiance than her, she was asked to bring her parents who by that time at ISABELA ( imagine that!). She was giving the CFO people her parent consent letter but they keep on refusing her. All other ladies(mostly with fiance visas) who were in the morning session said they were asked to show proof of relationship,emails,chat etc, (in my own observation, the fiance visa applicants are the ones most likely to be scrutinized and interrogated).

My husband and I went hunting where to eat and we found YELLOW CAB,left my husband in the resto to proceed to CFO, he just sat there and read while waiting.

During the 1:30 session (well actually it was almost 2 PM when we started:wacko:)

It was with fewer people, we have a general orientation , then we were divided among our host countries,

We were assigned to a lady , the counseling went very informal which is good,then one-on -one session with a counselor , I think they seem TIRED :dance:

after talking to quite a number of ladies in the morning session, I wasn't ask to submit any proof of relationship , just asked how i met my husband and I answered , then she said OK were done :thumbs:.proceed to the next room to have my picture taken, then after less than 15 minutes waiting I got my certificate.Double check the certificate if everything is accurate,

SO I THINK IT IS BETTER TO GET THE AFTERNOON SESSION IN PRISM(F)

We went back to our hotel, drink some water and juice , took a shower , went to bed to SLEEP very happy ( we were so tired!!!)
