    APPROVED!!!

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    this morning i had my interview at US Embassy in Manila @ 3:45 in the morning i am already ready to go (eventhough my appointment is at 7:30am) the instruction on our appointment letter is to actually go an hour before our interview schedule but because of wanting to end early i went there really early but i would suggest those who have 7:30am schedules to go there by 5:30 or 6am because you will not be entertained until the first batch (6:30am sched) is already inside.

    so from 4 am to almost 6 in the morning we were just sitting there along with other people who has an interview at USEM, after the first batch went into the building we were already asked to form our line, i was the 6th from the first person in the immigrant visa line, 10 mins before 6 (i guess, forgive me because im not really fond of wearing watches :P) we were already walking towards the gate of the embassy. at the gate you will be asked to prepare the first page of your appointment letter and your passport. They will be the one who will place your passport in a ziplock bag and will mark something on your appointment letter but they will eventually give it back to you, from there another line is formed towards the entrance going inside for security check (remember that the following are not allowed inside the embassy; cellphone, calculator,usb, cameras, any electronic device, foods arent allowed although candies are ok, all kinds of liquids are not allowed) dont worry if you get hungry they are selling food inside :P so at the security check all those prohibited stuffs will be thrown or left behind or you will be asked to give it back to your companion outside if you do have. after the security check another line is formed there are 3 counters who will then give you your priority number after you submit the first page of your appointment letter that was check by the ladies outside. my lucky number is 6143 :)

    the waiting has just started :P so we were asked to sit down and wait for our number to flash on the queuing board you have to remember that numbers arent followed on numerical order, they are on random order so you may need to constantly look at the board... even when i started chatting with the people i met there we would talk but we would constantly look at the board and everytime the number that is flashed is close to our number we would get nervous and eventually realize that it is randomly called :P

    at this point while waiting you need to prepare your DS forms,2 copies of DS 156, 2 copies of DS 157, and 1 copy of DS 156k. by the way i also met cj and doc (we are the art) while forming a line they are members here too, we talked before the interview because they started a thread about who is going to have an interview on the 9th :P

    so when my number was flashed on the board i went inside the main building and went to the counter where my number was assigned (again another security check for the bags) and then the filipina on the window just asked for my DS forms and asked me to sit down again and wait for my number to be flashed for the finger scanning,so i went back to my seat and waited for some time there, when it was flashed again i went back inside to have my fingers scanned as soon as you approach the window they will ask you to state your full name and your birth date and then the finger scanning will start. after that, you will be asked to sit down again and wait for your number to be flashed again for your pre screening with a filipino consul and this was i guess the longest wait i had :P

    my number wasnt flashed until 11am and the filipina consul who pre screened was a very nice woman she just asked me fore the following: proof of payment, BC, NBI clearance, CENOMAR, Affidavit of support, I-134, Petitioner's recent tax and W2, she also asked me to answer some of the questions on the DS form and then while doing so she was asking some questions like : what is your complete name, who is your petitioner, where did you meet? when did you meet each other in person? how many times did he visited you? how long did he stay here in the Phil? and some clarifications from the form like our address, if we were both unmarried, etc.

    then lastly she said can i see your pictures i was like i brought a scrapbook will it be ok? she was like yes! and after seeing it she was like.. ok just wait for your number to be flashed again for your final interview with the american consul (the wait was very short :P like few minutes apart )

    my number was already flashed and i thought it was the lady that they were talking about who is really strict (honestly inside the embassy you have a 50/50 chance of being called by rude consuls or pre-screeners, and i would say that i am so blessed to be assigned on one of the nicest people in there, i never had a problem :) )

    finally with the american consul, so all i thought i was assigned to a woman and as soon as i got closer to the window i saw a man on his late 20's or early 30's then i greeted Good morning sir! and he said good morning back without looking, then he asked me to raise my right hand to pledge that i will say nothing but the truth and i just said yes sir! then he told me to put my hand down and he started asking questions

    1. Who is your petitioner? (scanning our papers )

    2. Where id you meet? (scanning our papers again!)

    3. Is he working? what kind of work? (made me feel like he is running out of questions for me:P )

    4. Where does he live? this time i was like "Do you want me to give you the exact address sir?" because i think he was just looking for questions to ask :P then he was like "No,just the state" :P so i answered then after scanning over and over and over again he was like:

    "YOUR PAPER LOOKS GOOD, WAIT UNTIL YOUR NUMBER IS FLASHED AGAIN FOR FINAL INSTRUCTION"

    at this point i knew "I WAS ALREADY APPROVED!!!"

    so i said THANK YOU SO MUCH SIR and he just replied YOU'RE WELCOME

    and so i waited for few minutes and was called at the 2go window and the guy asked if i chose home delivery and i said yes and he told me

    "OK YOU CAN GO NOW AND JUST WAIT FOR YOUR VISA TO BE DELIVERED AT YOUR HOME ADDRESS"

    and i said THANK YOU SO MUCH and he said YOU'RE WELCOME

    ahhhh at that point i felt like i was floating at cloud 9, couldnt believe that all the stress are already done:P and it wasnt really as bad as i thought it will be, its just like a casual talk with a complete stranger :P

    then on my way out Doc saw me and he called me and asked how my interview went and i told him and CJ that im already approved and wished them luck so i am hoping before the day ended they were also approved :)

    for those who are constantly reading my posts you knew guys that this whole week has been one of the busiest week of my life, i am from Davao, we arrived here in Manila last sunday, Mon and Tues was my medical, Wed was my CFO and thursday is my rest day then FRI was my interview day and i would like to share this to you that God paved the way for us, it went really smooth since day 1 even if i was stressing myself out because im too scared to be confident, i dont want to be relaxed, i want to be under pressure so i can think for the proper mindset :P but all those times my fiance has always been there for me and we would constantly pray, Today before i left home going to the embassy we prayed together and it did really made me feel great, i am really thankful to have such a great man in my life, who loves me so much and whom i love so dearly and above all these all these wonderful things that have happened in me and my fiance's life was all planned by God, we have seen HIS hands all throughout the journey and i would give Him all the glory and praise.Thank you LORD!

    so for all those who are about to undergo the interview at the embassy do not just focus on your papers alone because no matter how prepared you are without God it would mean nothing. Keep on praying and have faith. God will guide you all the way to the end. God bless everyone :)

    thanks for a great advice,, i will be having my interview on nov 16. i want to ask few things? did you got lots of skype chats and ym chats with you? did the consul asked for it? did they care to see your evidences? im thinking to print all my chat logs but i dont know if it is reallly needed or i cna just print few.. and what other things you prepared as eveidence of ongoing relationship.. i am really stress right now.. i hope i can pass to. God bless

    He wasn't asked about the denied visas. It did come up in the interview but only because the CO asked if he had met my family and he said no - I wasn't able to because i couldn't get a tourist visa. The CO then said " oh I see. Well, they probably did the right thing by denying the tourist visa" and then said Congratulations and approved our K1.

    i see.. but to be honest i dotn know how it is in my country since we belong to a poor country.. but i hope things will get along well.. i have heard that philippines got the most toughest US embassy for k1..

    They do ask. Question #31 on the DS-156 form: "Have you ever been refused a U.S. visa? When? Where? What type of visa?"

    To the OP: Answer truthfully and despair not: many successful K-1 applicants before you had been denied previously for visitor/exchange visas.

    thanks for the positive advice.. i really hope it wont affect and i dont know how would it be here in philippines.. you got a beautiful family congrats.. nice pic..

    No worries. You did nothing wrong and were merely denied those previous visa attempts. You WILL have to bring evidence that you have a legitimate relationship with the intention of marrying and staying married.

    thanks, i think i can prove them that i got genuine relationship with my fiance now.. maybe i dont have to worry much cause really we are qualified for k1 visa, he reached poverty guidelines, we got everything like evidence he came to visit me, we got tons of email and phonecalls, he is calling me everyday, he is sending me money every two weeks during his payday so i got tons of money transfer receipt.. we met last year march.. we got lots of photos together and with my family so really we are qualify

    A CO will consider the totality of the circumstances; for example, how long have you known your fiance, how many times has he come to see you, how often you communicate, etc.

    I or anyone else cannot predict the outcome of any interview. The best thing you can do is have plenty of evidence to show a genuine relationship.

    nice advice and sorry for me repeating comments, i got crappy internet.. heheehe.. take note the first person who sponsored me for my j1 is not my fiance. when my j1 visa was denied last year my fiance said he will file k1 for me so i can come and be with him.. i hope i can pass the interview cause i want to be with him so bad
