Hello everyone! i hope you are all well,here is my story of my interview yesterday at the

US embassy,manila...May 7th booked hotel in ermita,so i can be there early,i woke up at 2am

get ready,just before i left at the hotel i check my documents and make sure i have everything i need,i Prayed for guidance and called my honey.

Exactly 3:15am i arrived at the US embassy,

there was people already waiting at the foot bridge,i thought i will be the first one lol...

they got there 2am wow!!!so i sit and waited,there's a vendors selling food and telling you

if you have gadgets you can leave it with them for a fee of 150pesos.then around 4 something

the vendors told us to fall inline,i been standing for 2 hours :crying:

Girls,if your wearing heels better bring flip flops but only if somebody with you so,

you can leave it when you go inside embassy.then about 6 something the guard told us to fall

inline there first priority are senior citizen and family with kids.then,the staff wearing

blue shirt will asked you of your Appointment confirmation(1st page)2 copy of DS156,DS157

1 copy DS156k,Passport they will give you a plastic to put you passport.they will asked

you what ST lukes gave you.then we go in security check our belongings

and again,any gadgets is not allowed even USB,food and water is not allowed,

But they are selling food inside,then we got in and again fall inline for that window will

give you your priority number,once you are inside the Building the first thing is you will

drop your papers at window 39,(this are the papers were the staff wearing blue shirt outside

arranged it for you before you get in).once you drop your papers watch the queuing board

Numbers changed randomly,base on my experienced i was interviewed first by filipino consul

at window 49,he asked for my Birth certificate,cenomar,NBI,Passport,as he is encoding some data he asked me question who is my petitioner,when and where did we met,how many times he

visited me,then,he asked my fiance's I134,W2,ITR,then again he ask if we have

chat's,email so i show him my huge paper of YM Chats,Emails,Skype Chat logs he said wow!

ok ok i believed you...lol he didn't bother to check it but it's really better to have more

than enough,then he asked our pictures together then asked me when are we going to marry

i told him June 16,and that my fiance's parents book the venue for us.he write down everything particularly my answer.he told me that everything is good that i can take a sit

and wait,i told him i haven't done my finger scan yet so he said,oh ok ok...then again my

number flash on the queuing board for window 40 finger scan,the american lady in that

window is nice and friendly.Girls,always greet the consul and wear your best smile :)

i was done in 7a.m for pre-interview,finger scan so i sit and waited for my final interview with the US consul. i keep on praying...actually,the US consul window open at 8a.m. but my

number never called til like 9 something so i was setting for 2hrs, waiting...

then the moment came,my number flash on the board window 64,she's like chinese she is

really nice,she asked my name,my fiance's name,when and where did we met,how many times

he visited me,if we are married before,she saw my previous work on DS156k in kuwait if i

commit any crime,i said no.and asked me when did he proposed to me,

and when are we planning to get married,she interview me in less

than 5 minutes,that was really fast.and the last thing i heard from her was your paper looks

good and that i'm approving your Visa,Congratulations!!! i was in tears when i heard that

it's a tears of joy!...God did answer my prayers...i say Thank you to her many times...

so again i sit and waited at the last window 71,the filipino who is in that window ask my name and check my papers then told me where i want my visa to be delivered

i told him for pick up in SM center...and he give me back my appoinment confirmation

with a stamp BIO F/P DONE and dated it.so i walk out US embassy with a big smile on my face Thank GOD!!! thank you guys for all the support and prayers!!!
