At 8:50 am I called USEM also and talked to Grace today..and ask her about the status of my visa ..she asked my case number and my name..then hold on for a couple of minutes..then she told me that they will release my visa before friday next week since it is holiday tommorow..they can release visa today up to 5:30 pm...and instructed me what to do after i received my visa...right now we are waiting for the text of delbros to inform us that they will be delivering our visa soon...

Hi God bless to your fiance's interview tomorow.. As long she has all the documents that they required things will be okey...GOD MERCY ENDURES FOREVER!!

Hello guys,

We had our appointment on April 22nd at 7:30am.

I'm now at the lobby of Bayview Hotel across the embassy 12:30pm and writing this post about my experience before I leave the hotel.

We finished our interview at around 11:15am and before I go out and start celebrating with my family and fiance, I want to update you fellow VJ'ers because I know how important these posts are to you who are having their interview on April 23rd, 24th and 25th.

I'll skip all the specific details about filling in line and getting your ticket number etc because its pretty much self explanatory.

But before you get into the embassy, have your appointment letter with one valid ID before you enter the Embassy.

Today we met up with about a dozen VJ members including Sandy, Prime & Ryan... ETC. Sorry for those I do not remember, because I didnt really ask for everyonnes profile.

I was surprised to see that there were about 100 K-1, K-2, K-3 who were interviewed today because I wasn't expecting that many who are scheduled.

Before you get your ticket # in the que. Have all these prepared before you reach the window. (about 1 hour wait)

2 copies of DS-156 (paste the picture and sign the applicant signature),

2 copies of DS-157 (one from the bank that is validated, and the one that you filled up yourself)

1 copy DS-156K

After this step, you wait to get scanned for finger prints. (about 30 mins wait)

The most important are the documents that the pre-screener asked for.

I was asked if I was the petitioner. Second, if my fiance has been married before. Third, they requested for Birth Certificate, NBI Clearance, 2007 ITR (1040) most recent and the affidavit of support. Lastly, they asked my fiance if she worked out side the Philippines.

They did not ask for the Cenomar, Check Stubs, W-2s, letters, email. I brought 3 years of ITR and W-2s but were not necessary. They only asked for the most recent 1040 2007 ITR.

The pre screener did ask for pictures, but we had enough with the petition that we submitted with the I-129F. After the pre-screen we sat back down and waited about more than 30 mins for our ticket # to be called for the final interview.

Then we waited to be called for the CO.

The CO that interviewed my fiance asked me to step outside the door and leave all my documents with my fiance. Most of the petitioners who did attend were admitted in the interview room, but I wasnt able to go inside.

The interview took about 5 mins while I waited outside. The CO was very nice and asked these question.

First question, the CO asked about my parents (petitioner) what do they do for a living.

Second question, if my fiance was married or pregnant before

Third question is on how we met.

Forth question, CO asked about the restaurant that we went to when we first met.

Fifth question, CO asked where he can buy a good egg tart.

Sixth question, CO asked if my fiance knew this other bake shop

Seventh question, CO asked if my fiance has been to the US.

Eight question, CO asked about the denied tourist visa she applied for June of 2007. (if my fiance's intention was to visit me) My fiance said NO.

Last question, CO asked how we communicate.

Then CO was writing, he quickly said that we were approved!!! The whole interview lasted for 3-5 mins. We really didn't time it, but my fiance said it was very easy and the CO was very nice. we were at window 32.

We asked for a visa pickup but the CO says they no longer let people pick up the visa.

The CO asked why we need the VISA pickup, and we said because we have our reservation and we will be leaving on May 2nd. The CO says he will try his best that we get our visa before that because they are no longer allowing visa pick up.

We then filled and paid for Delbros to deliver our visa with others who got approve with the PINK SLIP. Everyone seemed to have gotten approved. I didnt see any white slips. Also, I see people smiling after their interviews which means they got the approval.

For everyone who will be having their interviews this week or in the future. My advise is to just relax and have all your documents ready. Do not be nevrous or worry too much.

If you have all your documents ready you will be approved. Also, get your DOC verification early, we paid for our doc verification March 6th and NSO received it on March 17th. (do this early so there will not be a problem).

Thank you all for all those who have helped here in VJ. I wish everyone the best in your future interview and I hope what I have written down can help you get that approval.

Doc-

Hi Dr. Mirage! I saw you and your fiancee at the embassy...You look perfect to each other!!

To everyone who will going to have an interview I agree to Dr. Mirage..just make your documents ready..relax and ask the guidance of our Lord Jesus Christ that He will give you wisdom in everything that you will going to do..

Again Dr. Mirage have a happy day with your beloved precious woman of your life!! GOD MERCY ENDURES FOREVER!!

In everything give thanks for it is the will of God to those who are called according to His purpose....God is good all the time and all the time God is good!! The consular said to me today " Alright, your visa is approved and welcome to USA!! And almost all K1 & K3 applicants were being approved today!!.. Thank you Lord Jesus for being with us on that special day of ours!! GOD MERCY ENDURES FOREVER!!

April 16 was my birthday and our interview. We passed! The questions were all simple like where I lived, where did we met, how long ago was my last visit, how many times I visited, how many siblings she had, when I flew in to the Philippines. Now just waiting for the Visa and we leave May 1

I'm happy for both of you!! God is good all the time and all the time God is good..BELATED HAPPY BIRTHDAY & CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!GOD MERCY ENDURES FOREVER ; )

God is good all the time and all the time God is good.. I GOT MY CENOMAR TODAY!! Thankful to God that there are people in here that God used for me to lift up my spirit knowing before that I cannot have my cenomar in my interview!! you guys such a blessing to me!! thank Betsy, Loterly_Richard, Shape of My Heart, Nova17, o0pink0o & RyanRiza..May our good Lord continue to use you to share His love to other people..GOD MERCY ENDURES FOREVER!!

I went to NSO-bacolod last 9th of April and up to now I'm still waiting of my cenomar..people from nso-bacolod told me that those who filed last 8th to 11th of april was being delayed because they are still waiting of the approval from nso-manila...I'm not sure if can bring my cenomar on my interview this 22nd of april...Is it okey if ill go to my interview without my cenomar? I hope somebody here can help me what to do now? I'm bothered a lot with regards to this...thank you everyone...God mercy endures forever!!

Hi friends!! good news..I got my cenomar today..this is truly unexpected!! thank you much friends of encouraging me..GOD MERCY ENDURES FOREVER!!

after your interview on april 22nd, call robbie again at delbros on that day and confirm to him if your name is actually included in the list that the usem send to NSO on april 21st. if he says u r included in the list then thats great. but if u keep on praying and ask God that He would do wonders by not including you in the AR like what happened to me and betsay, then that would be the greatest thing for u.

by the way, when u do the finger scanning, press your fingers as hard as u can ok and dont put anything on your hands like lotion or perfume so u wont end up washing your hands in the bathroom and then falling back in line.

Good luck, pray without a single doubt.

-Loterly

Hi Loterly_Richard!! My Palangga Fiance called Delbros this morning and Robbie told him that our papers will be sent to NSO to the 21st of April that's the day before my interview..thank you so much..GOD MERCY ENDURES FOREVER!!

youre welcome happy heart, as long as you believe that God is beside u and actually He is carrying u, then who can defeat you???

that is a smart advice betsay, happy heart, concentrate on calling delbros and keep on reminding them about your document verification.

best of luck, may God bless you with strength to defeat your own weakness. mwahs

thank you Loterly_Richard!! we paid last march 26 already for our document verification ..my fiance called delbros last arpril 15 asking about our documents..delbros told him that our documents are ready to be sent to US Embassy Manila this 21st of April..that's the day before my interview..Do you have any idea what delbros trying to tell to us? thank you Betsay of your nice encouragement to me!! God is good all the time and all the time God is good ; )

You're welcome, happy heart. That's good about you and your fiance calling Delbros. You should be happy now that Delbros is ready to send your docs to the USEM before your interview. It may mean that you don't have to wait long before you receive your visa (after your interview of course). Unlike us whose documents were sent only on April 14, after our interview, and might wait longer than a week to receive our visa. Anyway, I know God is at work, and we will eventually get it. Just be ready with all your documents, be confident during the interview, pray, pray, pray . . .May God be with you during the interview and always.

Thank you talaga betsy!! You just dont know how I appreciate you encourage to have courage inspite and despite of..I will include you too in my prayer that you can have your visa as soon in God's perfect time!! God be with you too as you are waiting the time to be with the love of your love ; ) I will update you after my interview by the grace of God!! Again salamat ; )

Finally, after 364 days since USCIS recieved the petition my wife has her visa in hand!! Hoooooray!!

I plan to fly Meryll in by the 23rd to make VJer Meanne's wedding. Tanjay, Dennis and Antonette, are planning on attending the wedding also.

Our best wishes to all those on document verification. I hope nobody has to wait as long as we did.

I'm very much happy to know that you received your visa now after more than 2 months from the day of your interview...See...God is good all the time and all the time God is good!! CONGRATULATIONS!!

youre welcome happy heart, as long as you believe that God is beside u and actually He is carrying u, then who can defeat you???

Hello edp333!

Did you get your visa now? Just wondering because if you do, I'm so happy for both of you.

Pricilla

thanks you! I still have my interview this coming 22nd of April...Hopefully we can have i have it soon after interview is God's willing...

I went to NSO-bacolod last 9th of April and up to now I'm still waiting of my cenomar..people from nso-bacolod told me that those who filed last 8th to 11th of april was being delayed because they are still waiting of the approval from nso-manila...I'm not sure if can bring my cenomar on my interview this 22nd of april...Is it okey if ill go to my interview without my cenomar? I hope somebody here can help me what to do now? I'm bothered a lot with regards to this...thank you everyone...God mercy endures forever!!

Hi, happy heart. I was interviewed on April 4, and the USEM didn't even ask for the Cenomar. One of the gals there also told me that they didn't ask for her cenomar either. I'm telling you this, so you won't worry so much about not getting your Cenomar on time. Of course, I don't know if they will look for yours or not, but I think instead of worrying about getting one, you should make sure about the document verification of your NSO papers. Have you already paid and texted/called Delbros to confirm payment for document verification?

Hi Betsay! Yes we did..we paid last march 26 already..my fiance called delbros last arpril 15 asking about our documents..delbros told him that our documents are ready to be sent to US Embassy Manila this 21st of April..that's the day before my interview..Do you have any idea what delbros trying to tell to us? thank you Betsay of your nice encouragement to me!! God is good all the time and all the time God is good ; )

Good luck Happy Heart! God will surely never leave you nor forsake you. Keep the faith. You'll be ok.

-Riza

thank you Riza please include me to your prayer....thanks again ; )

hi happy heart, hmmm if worse comes to worst and u wont really have the cenomar on the day of your interview, then i guess bring the receipt becoz on the receipt it says there when your cenomar will be released and it so happens that it will be released after your interview. make a photocopy of that receipt in case they request you to leave a copy. God bless and lets hope this works..

keep on believing- Loterly

Hi Loterly thank you for reminding me about the receipt of my cenomar ..I do believe that also things work for good..God will never leave us nor forsake us..He is still in control..thanks guys...

I went to NSO-bacolod last 9th of April and up to now I'm still waiting of my cenomar..people from nso-bacolod told me that those who filed last 8th to 11th of april was being delayed because they are still waiting of the approval from nso-manila...I'm not sure if can bring my cenomar on my interview this 22nd of april...Is it okey if ill go to my interview without my cenomar?

Thanks to you dear!! I read about your case..I hope and pray soon you will receive you visa..Always remember God knows what is happening..and He knows what is best for us..Just hold on to Him only and things will be okey..God mercy endures forever!!

I have some cuts on my wrist and that bothers me lot. it says iof you have that then you have suicidal tendencies and you need to undergo psychiatrist thingy and I'm really worried right now. PLease help me since I was 14 before and I was curious on doing that so that left marks and im afraid it might delay my visa processing. Please help

Hi Dear!! The doctor was asking me if ive tried to commit suicide before ( I said NO ) and she look at to my two wrist and found not even one...Don't be afraid just face your fears. Always remember God is in control. Just be strong..Tell them the truth and everything will be alright no matter what...Still you will be with you husband in God's perfect time..I hope and pray things will be ok with regards to your medical exam this coming May..Jesus loves us all..

I was having an early medical examination last April 3 & 4, 2008. I thought there will be a lot of applicants on that day so I went there early in the morning around 4:30 am. At 5am there was a nice guard gave us numbers and forms and mine was number 3.. I was surprised because there were few of us were there..i think we were not more than ten k1 and k3 applicants..in short, it was before 10 am when we were all done to our first and second day of medical exam. By the grace and mercy of God I and my friends that i met there passed the medical exam at St Lukes. Praise God of his miracle to all of us on that day!! Amen!!

hi congrats and good luck for ur interview

Thank you dear!! I have seen in your timeline that we have the same interview appointment..Kita kits tayo doon!! God mercy endures forever!!
