Interview APPROVED!!

[Jay Jones 261]

Our interview appointment was at 7:10 am.  We arrived about 6 am and stood in the 7:10 line.  I forgot my watch at home so I’m not able to give the exact times of the step by step process.

 

We start the process about 6:30 outside when my fiancé was  are asked to put her passport in a ziploc bag.  Then she were asked for the DS-160 and they looked for my fiancé’s name and put a sticker on her DS-160.  My fiancé goes thru the foreigner door and my daughter and I go thru the US Citizens side.  We sat in the chairs outside for about 5 minutes before we all got in line to go inside the Embassy.

 

Once inside we did the bag check and went to our designated area.  When it was our turn we went to the 1st pre-screen window.  The lady at the pre-screen window even asked me some questions  and I seen from the packet in front of her she had everything I mailed in our I-129f packet.  After the pre-screen we sat down a bit then my fiancé  went to the finger scan window.

 

After the finger scan we sat and waited in the interview area.  People with odd numbers on their sticker went to one side and even numbers went to the other.  When it was our turn to be interviewed the Counsular asked if our daughter was my biological daughter and if she had her US passport then he politely instructed me to sit down and if he needed anything from me then he would send for me.  I gave my fiancé a HUGE folder with a lot of supporting documents.  I sat down maybe for 2 minutes and here comes my fiancé with a HUGE smile on her face.  APPROVED!!!!  He did not ask for one piece of paper.  My fiancé said he asked her 4 questions:  was she ever married, was I ever married, what is my work and do our daughter have US Citizenship..

 

When we left the Embassy it was 8:05 am.  So the interview process took about 1 hour and we was back in time at our hotel for the free breakfast buffet, lol.

Congratulations!!!! Reading the ratings for Manila continues to give me hope while waiting. I’m happy it went smoothly for you all. Hopefully soon we will have our interview also! All it the waiting and not knowing when and/or if is tiresome. Cheers to your approval!

Such a happy thread!  So many approvals.  Congrats to you all

 

[JonMark 44]

Hey Jay, was there a 2go kiosk that you have to go to verify your address? My fiancé was so overwhelmed with his emotions after his approval he didn’t even hear the CO’s instructions about the delivery of his passport. 

[N.pie 45]

Lol...I was at the embassy today as well, and got approved. Mine took a little longer since they have some issues with my photo, but other than that, everything went quite well. I still have our pictures. I guess I'll just frame them. 😁

[Pauie18 56]

Congratulations! We got approved too! 😍 😍 😍 😍 On cloud 9!

That is the typical interview process ..     

[EllisAndRenz 193]

We were there today too ...  We had an 8:40am appointment.  We were out in about 50 minutes.  They asked her two questions.  (They asked her where I worked, and one other she can't recall).   Very pleasant process.  We are very happy.  Like someone said "Cloud 9"

 

Now just have to wait for the Visa delivery.

There is no kiosk. There is a 24 hour window to call the number on the slip of paper they gave him if he wants to change the delivery address. If not it will go to the delivery address that was entered on the traveldocs website.
