Thanks God,..k1 visa approved...

[Tim/Mav 305]

It has been a long process in our k1 case.It took 4yrs since the k1 petition filed 12/2010,got petition approved 6/9/2011,finally we got visa approved 1/21/2014 ..lol,i guess we got the longest waiting period in the K1 visa ...above all thanks God and thanks also to vj,it has been a helpful tool for us.

I just had my interview yesterday & I want to share my experience for some reason it may help others to be confident & be prepared.

January 21,2014,tuesday..the appointment letter i presented is an e-mail reply from manila US embassy,because of my medical due date,we asked for expidited interview which indicates that i can go walk in at embassy check in counter at any day from monday to thursday 7:30am-10:30am for my interview ounce i have completed all my documents & medical.I updated first my medical last jan.16,2014 then headed for interview.

I went to embassy Monday, its holiday,my fiance & I didnt knew that day is martin luther's day in the US.Was glad i got a friend residents in manila who put me up for a night..Then i came back tuesday,arrived 6:30am.There's somebody outside who could take care your things & gadgets but you have to pay them & i got annoyed because they asked too much,P400 for my 2 gadgets,no way ,lol.I told to a woman that i can afford only P200,she agreed but i think it is still too much,anyway wether i like it or not i have to leave my gadgets to them..

At the front gate,theres a line for IV(k1 included),NIV,ACS,& sea fearers.they asked the passport & they get ds-160 here & they mark on appointment letter & gave me ziplock for the passport before entering the entrance building,once you got in,your things were put in machine scan as part of their security check up,then take the exit door going to another lane.In front are 3 windows either which you may proceed,show your passport & appointment letter here to give you ticket number for the queue board that you will look out later,my # was 6141.I was instructed to give my appointment letter at window 39 inside the next building..then my waiting turns started...

1st @ window 41- finger prints & biographic details.

2nd @ window 48- filipino consule screening,she took the documents such as NBI,BC,CENOMAR,VISA Receipt,I-134.then she looked our photos & tried to read some chats history from folder i showed her,lol....she also asked some details, name,address of my fiance,my phone#,age,bday & email add,although they already have these,theyre still checking it.Then she also asked questions like,when & how we met,how many times he visited me& why,prior marriage of both parties...lol,her voice is a little high pitch,she sounded like a strict person.

3rd @window 59- american consule interview,upon arriving in front of window & seeing her face,my nervous was gone because she looks nice person.I smiled at her first & greeted her good morning. im surprised ,several questions being asked,were not those what we really expected,first question was,is he drinking alcohol?lol,i said no,he dont drink hard liquour,only light beer,.many questions had followed & i was able to answer it all by heart until she took a look at the ITR 2012 & said this is low,i wanna see 2013 income,then i grab my folder,& i gave Tim's employers letter & checks stubs,then she got satisfied and said ok,this is good,she asked me whats his job.then i replied and mentioned also the date he got hired & month he got permanent,she nodded and then said ok..after shes done writing,i anticipated shell be asking me some questions again but finally she said this with smile,"im going to approved your visa",.you may take a seat now & you'll be call back..then i said,thank you ma'am.., my heart jump with joy while walking back to the waiting area seats..

4th @ window 71..rechecking of documents,the guy only asked me if i took 2nd medical,i said it was just updated.. then he told me to fill out a delivery form slip and submit it at window 69 ..im done@ around 1:30pm...

I could totally feels now the real feeling after being approved,there are some pressures & stress but trust,believing & preparedness is 100%
