[djturbo 0]

This is weird... Has anyone here have an 8:30am appointment? Or Is it me?

Seems that everyone have 6:30am

Is it because I am an IR-1? Others are CR?

Might be..sound abt right to me..

Hi everyone! Jay and I wish you the Best of Luck on your Interview. Here are the few things I've learned yesterday:

1. I'm under CR1, and my appointment is 8:30am, I was in by 7:15. My other friends went in as early as 7am. The guard calls interviewees as early as 6:30 for 7am applicants, afterwards they let people in (those 7:30 and on) regardless of the time. So even of you're appointment is 8:30, you can come inside as early as 7. The earlier, the better.

2. Try staying at the seats nearest to the windows, so when your number flashes it will be easier for you to go to that window.

3. Be sure that you're hands are dry before finger scanning. A lady there got mad because it took he girl 7mins to finally get the wet outta her fingers (She's nervous daw kasi)

4. Be as early as you can. Pre-Interviewers take their lunch early. Some 10-11am, some 11-12. I noticed that around 10-11, only 3 Pre-Screener windows were open.

5. Have your documents ready ha, and make sure you paid all those necessary payments to be made. My CR1 friend was rescheduled by the interviewer, beacuse his husband didn't pay the $380 visa fee, which is now $400. Sus!

6. Relax, smile, bring candies and bottle of water.

That's all i can think of for now,hope this helps. I'll gather myself to think of more. I still have hangover of what happened yesterday!

Tanjay, Tim&Maricar, Fe&Jeff, Bluebelle, Sha&Scott, djturbo, RoseRick,

Guys, you'll always be in my prayers!!!

Thanks jyz.. We appreciate your tips.. We will be glad to follow em..

About #5 How can you pass NVC processing if you haven't paid the IV bill? How can you even get a Case Complete or a Interview?

[jayzar 1]

Tim and Maricar, Rose&Rick,

Im really glad having friends like you!

The day before the interview, that friend of mine asked me why she have DS230 form on her packet 4. Since I dont have any packet four (hehe,yeah i dont) I just told her that she don't have to submit it again, for we did it already during NVC days. She asked me if i paid the Visa fee, of course myhusband did. But she wasn't sure IF her husband did, she was just told that they paid "something" already. So sad to say, his husband didn't pay it yet. I dunno why did she get her case complete, and why did she had her interview date. Maybe the fact that his husband works for the US Air Force can answer that. HMM....

I got nervous the time she told me that his husband didn't pay for the Visa fee. BUT I AM SURE MY HUSBAND DID, OR ELSE I'LL KILL HIM. So, i carefully watch the Pre-Interviewer as he check my documents in the folder, and I saw he wrote something like "VISA fee pd." in my DSform. A RELIEF.

WoW... I didn't know there are far worst cases on the interview... I think what the husband meant he paid was the $70 I-864 processing fee.

I think the only risk of getting denied on a CR/IR interview if you have past history of illegal drug use in the past and criminal records in the past, was deported from the US, or Committing fraud.

Other than that.. The worst case scenario is an AR..

[jayzar 1]

definitely AR is the worst scenario.

We hate ARs!!
