Thanks guys for all the Congrats! sorry I wasnt able to post what exactly happened at USEM....

The Initial Interview with the Filipina Pre srceener was asking for all revalent documents. She asked Grace why it took so long for me to process the Visa?? Grace Answered and said because of his job :blink: and also because the more important thing a major issue in our lives was her fathers hospitalization and eventually Passing. she said ok and after a few moire questions told her to have a seat and wait for the final interview.:o After a couple of hours her number flashed on the board and it was time. Her CO was a Lady and according to Grace in her words....." Very Very Strict"! Grace said the entire interview was focused on me according to her. Questions asked:

1. Who is your petitioner?

2. What is his full name?

3. What is his age and Birthday?

4.How many times has he been married?

5.Who are his ex wives?

6.Do you know their names?

7.How many kids,if any does he have?

8.What are the name of the kids?

9.where does he do for a living?

10.where does he live?

11.How long have he lived there?

12.when will you Marry?

THE CO only asked to look at pics from a carefully arranged Photo Album she made thats it.

This Question really got to Grace she told me and she said she was a little offended! but I had to explain to her that is the rules. the CO has to make a determination of our Petition for Visa.

"Does it bother you that he is older than you"??

Grace told her: No Maam, it doesnt bother me cause age is just a number and because I love him!!!:thumbs: The CO looked at her and Just smiled! she then told Grace I have no issues with your documents and anything else."CONGRATULATIONs and welcome to the United States of America!:dance: :dance:

Sounds like the woman CO at window 61, she was yelling at some women she was interviewing.... Amy leaned to me one time and said she hopes she does not get called to window 61... luckily she was called to window 62 and the guy was very nice, asked me more questions than Amy but then so did the Filipino interviewer.

Yea Hank she still has to do CFO also. We will wait until her Passport arrive with the Visa before she goes in Cebu. we will make that one trip there. See I told you, you and Amy would be back before Grace arrives. We have some personal things to take care of her and I here and there so she will be arriving at LAX first part of June! Like the the NFL Player says on TV Commercial......."Cant Wait"!:thumbs:

Best to take the time to get things done, personal and otherwise, this is why we are taking two months before flying home. Aiming for June 3rd for our wedding.

Right Again Hank! Grace says it was the Lady CO at Window 61! Very Strict!:thumbs:

I just told Amy this and she laughed, she said that woman was yelling at some of the filipina in Tagalog.... just not a nice woman. Instead of PMS that woman must have C-PMS (contant)
