quick question.. me and my twin sister just had our cfo seminar today... we only received our passports w/ cfo sticker but no certificate... do they really stop giving certificates this year? because i read in some cfo experiences that cfo gave them certificates with their picture..

Hello there sister! I scheduled my cfo on feb 1 then rescheduled it on feb 2. I was so worried because the reference number on the 2 different schedule is not the same. And my name on feb 2 schedule was kinda mixed up. What will I do to correct this and to let cfo know that I changed schedule? Thank in advance

Well, just done with my interview this morning. The process was sooooo quick though maybe it was cause I was in the priority lane with the senior citizen and those with children.. Anyway, everything was smooth. This site and everybody has been very helpful. Its great that I was aware that k1 don't need to fall in the very long line outside the embassy from what I have read on blogs and reviews. Just make sure to always specify which category you are and what visa. Its not harmful to ask, they'll be willing to assist you.

Thank God and the universe, my visa was approved!!!! The next waiting game will be when my visa will be issued.

11 months of waiting! From February 26, 2015 til today, January 26, 2016, with all the delays that we had. Finally heard the magic words that everyone has been wanting to hear, Approved..

Good luck to those who will still be interviewed. Never lose that smile on your face and confidence! God bless!

Will post a review for everyone...
