Nervous Feeling

[JAYANN & JAY 11]

We have exactly a week to go until my fiance's interview on Tuesdya August 20. We've come so far to reach up to this point. Now I am starting to feel nervous as to what the results will be next week. I wish that I am able to be there with him when he goes but due to my work schedule I am not be able to be there Has anyone felt this way when your loved one was going for their interview?

Hi Jayann & Jay,

My Filipina fiancée just had her K1 interview yesterday, August 13, and passed and was out of the embassy in 2 hours. She was asked 3 questions: 1) have you ever been outside Philippines, 2) when is your wedding date, 3) when do you plan to travel to USA.

I could not be with my fiancée either due to cost and my vacation time that I wan to use when she arrives in California.

YESSSS I was very nervous and she was also nervous, that is perfectly normal. If you feel confident about having all your documents and they are up-to-date and you have all the information the embassy requested then She will not have any problems.

My fiancée found all the people at the US Embassy very nice and smiling and helpful.

Your fiancée will do great and yes you will both feel nervous. But when she calls you to say she passed and will get her visa you will feel GREAT!!!

Take care and best of luck to both of you

YES! Same thing. I wasn't able to go due to no vacation days left. I had trouble sleeping and focusing at work (not good when you're trying to make software). I kept looking over the copy of the documents I had and reading the instructions from the embassy, Hanks guide, and Robb&Anns site trying to make sure I didn't skip anything.

You will be so happy when you hear that Visa was approved! I was so happy and couldn't believe it. It seemed too easy haha. After 8 long months of battling the USCIS and NVC with delays at every step it was finally over!

Good luck!

I think the better question would be - Has anyone NOT felt this way before the interview.

Glad I am not the only one who feels this way We originally planned for me to go home to the Philippines but we decided its best for me to stay here to save my vacation days and the extra 3k that I will be spending for the trip to the Philippines. I have been reading everyones reviews and tips about their interview to make sure that we are not forgetting anything. We've come such a long way to reach this point and we are both hoping everything goes well next week. We were gonna reschedule his interview for 8/15 after finding out he had passed the medical last week but then decided to just stick with the original interview date of 8/20 to give us an extra week to go over everyhing and make sure we are not forgetting anything he needs to bring to the interview. Praying and crossing my fingers I will get some good news next week

Have you noticed that we haven't seen that many who have not passed their interview. So, maybe we are all doing it right with help from all the VJ'rs. Maybe we are trying to put to much into this. NOT!

It is nerve racking but we can only do the best we can and help those who need their questions answered. It helps so much that those who have gone before us, have come back to help those who are still on the "Journey".

To you I raise my beer to salute you. THANKS!!

Can anyone recommend a good hotel to stay at? One that actually has free wifi since most of these hotels are liars. Had 2 bad experiences where we stayed in a hotel only to find out that we have to pay to use the wifi.

When I was there in March we stayed at Lotus Garden for a few days and she stayed there for the Medical and CFO. The wifi is decent, but I guess like most hotels it depends on the room since I don't think they have an access point in each room. The wifi is free and the breakfast is great.

If you book with Agoda.com I think you get the best price for Lotus Garden and you can get the breakfast included too.

We haven't stayed there, but I noticed a lot of people like Casa Bocobo in other threads asking about where to stay. I considered booking there, but my fiancee wanted to stay at Lotus Garden since she is comfortable with it.

For the interview her and her dad stayed with a friend of ours in Makati, since the room he rents out was vacant. That's where I usually stay when I visit. I checked with him and it's booked up on your interview date.

I stayed at Casa Bocobo Hotel, P1650 for 1 person while P2200 for 2 during my medical, interview and when my fiance left for WA.

Overall experience where all great. I am planning to stay there again when I get my CFO seminar and a day before I leave for WA.

Hi dahlia0811 when do you plan on leaving to go here? Did you guys book your ticket before your interview date or did you wait until your interview was over?

Hi Jayann & Jay,

A.S.A.P. but still waiting for my visa . It is too risky to buy a ticket ahead of time since the issuance of the approved visa/passport are unpredictable. And it is an additional $$$ to move the date. So we might as well wait for the visa, take the CFO Seminar then book the ticket. Our plan is I will stay in Manila then off I go, since the expense is just the same going back to Angeles City.

Besides it's nice to stay in Manila.... need to shop and fill in my luggage... hahaha. just kidding! My Fiance might read this ...lol

Yea thats why my fiance and I haven't booked his ticket either since we still have to get passed the interview next week...praying & crossing fingers he will do just fine plus i wasnt sure how long they give the visa but I do plan for my fiance to be here by the end of september. do you think that would be a possibility?

^^Goodluck. On my end i booked flights after I saw my visa issued on the ceac site. I don't recommend following what I did since so many things can still go horribly wrong...from 2go to cfo and airfares are not cheap to gamble...its just someone wants to book right away and wanted me to fly asap heheh...good thing, everything so far went smoothly. But again I wouldn't really want to take that risk...

hahaha. so funny how everyone is just taking risk to get their loved ones asap. truly understand though as i havent seen my fiance since last september to be exact so i am hoping the rest of our journey will go smoothly and he will be here before september ends. luckily i had him get his cfo out of the way so all he has to do is just get it stamped.
