Thanks, guys! I wish you all the best.

BTW, I was trying to listen ( you can actually hear it if you seriously pay attention to it)to other interviews for fiance/fiancee/spousal visa ( cuz ours is IR2), and they were routinely asking the same questions. How did you meet, when was the last time he/she visited, how do you communicate, show me your pictures together, what does he do for a living, what do you intend to do when you get to the US..Basically everyone made it in Manila, except for one who was requested to submit another document. Maybe they should just record their questions, as it's all the same. LOL. But that's good for us.

Good luck, guys!!

And Lidia, we are among the few left of the TSC blackhole batch. Go get it, gurl!!

Congratulations :dance:

Sounds like like most interviews are very straightforward at USEM. That's what we expect. Of course, we are one of the ones who are expecting to get a 221g because our HK Police Clearance won't be there in time...but just to hear those magic words you heard will make us very, very happy.

Dont expect a 221g! You'll never know, it might not even be asked. Stay positive, we will be rooting for you. God bless you, my dear. Im pretty sure you will also hear the magic words.
