:dance: yes.. to dance is the perfect way to start my story..

my ever loving father drop me off at the yellow cab located infront of the USEM entrance gate. in there, i meet up marie bernette (girl sori baka wrong spelling) then together we went to the USEM entrance. we were already talking about the dv upon crossing the street. hahahahah! then at the "waiting area" we saw Jas!! we were so very excited when we saw each other it was fun talaga!! we were talking about random stuff about the DV then the guard told us that we can now get inside the USEM. today was a very busy day at the USEM!!! grabe! there are alot of applicants! mostly families..

so we went inside...it was jas and marie who went inside 1st but i still saw them at the immigration section anyway. the 3 of us were inseparable! our numbers were in order and we stayed together til we got out of the USEM

so yun, after getting the number we just sat and waited for the instruction, there was a lady who stood infront and gave us some instructions about the forms..like there should be no blank in any of the forms, that we have to wait for our numbers to be flashed on the screen..etc etc... our names were called for the finger print scanning and u know i was called twice for this..but the 2nd time was just a mistake..i just told the lady at the window that i already had mine scanned minutes ago, they checked it from their records and okayed with it. i went back to my seat and waited for my number on the cue board.

when i saw my number flashing on the screen i went to the given window number and had my pre screening. the lady speaks in tagalog so nag tagalog din ako..wala, she asked for the DS forms, I-134, bank statement, employment sertification, ITR and W2..she asked for my name, my fiance's name..his work, the time of our first meeting, times he visited me here in the PI, asked for some pictures and my course in college and if i already took the boards and how much i spent with it.. and she commented "nako, maganda future mo pag andun kana sa u.s." sagot naman ako..."aayy nako thank you Lord for that!".... it was a fun talk! so then i went back to my seat..the 3 of us were all waiting for our CO interview.. while waiting, we were talking and making fun of each other.. were nervous but not serious about it we were having so much fun at the usem.

my turn came..window 29 (where marie also had her interview) i was the one who followed her. the lady IS SO NICE!!!! I have never thought that the interview can be that casual and fun! she asked me to raised my right hand and i raised my left! (me stupid) i said, "ooppss..im sorry" she smiled and said its ok. i just answered her a clear "YES" after she stated the swear. she told me i dont have to be nervous at all and if incase i start to feel uncomfortable, its ok to tell her. she also asked me beforehand if its ok if she speaks to me in english and i told her that theres no problem with that. so yun...she asked me the petitioner's name, how did we meet, how do we communicate, times he went here in the PI since we got together. her eyes opened wide when i told her how many times he visited me...she was like.."oh! he comes here too often to see you"..i told her .."oh yes!" (kinikilig pako nun!) then she asked for my fiance's job and its nature..so i told her..after that she browsed through the I129F docs for a while then smiled and told me.."ok, i dont see anything wrong on this, your visa is approved, you can just wait for the instruction for the delivery of your visa!" and i was like.."aawww..thank you, thank you so much...ur so nice.." she was smiling the whole time! when i stood up from my seat i told her that shes so very nice and im so thankful for it, then she said no problem.

so i got out of the room with a big smile on my fazzz!!!! hahahaaah! i waited again for my number on the cue board for the slips...(eto na!) exciting dito!...let me tell you that..during the pre screening.. i noticed a document with my name and fiance's name on it.., on its side, prints "VISA APPLICATION" theres a BARCODE on top and a print that says.."NATIONAL STATISTICS OFFICE" ..when i saw that, i got excited...i thought that that could be the verified documents and during my CO interview i saw the same document again..hahahaah! and when i was called again to the window that issues the slip.. AGAIN, I SAW THE SAME DOCUMENTS! from there it proved to me that YES THAT WAS THE DV FROM NSO BECAUSE THE MAN JUST GAVE ME A PINK SLIP!

it was on a folder and when he opened it and saw that mysterious document that keeps on saying hello to me on my interview, he said.."your visa is ok, just pay for the delivery. wag muna kayo mag pa schedule ng flight hangga't wala pa yung visa nyo ha"..then he stapled the pink slip on my confirmation email! yehey!! he gave back to me the photos and the confirmation email i handed over to the pre screener.

after that i paid the delbros then the 3 of us went out of the USEM with all smile!!!!!!! jas went to work but me and marie went to moa to eat!..we were dead tired and hungry already! but its worth it!!!!!!!

we went to moa and bought slippers for myself! grabe ang sakit na nga paa ko sa high heels ko ha! i called my sweetheart on the phone and told him the good news! - he was about to cry when he heard it.. (aaww..) but yes, ANG SAYA SAYA!!!!!

I thank the Lord for the success of my interview. I know his hands were working for me and my fiance all through out the process of our K1 application and will continue to work on us for life. All the Praises to him!

I am so happy for you have a safe trip sana ako rin ganyan ang ma experience ko.............

My husband and I are soooooooooo happy! :dance:

I arrived at USEM around 6:30AM (my schedule was 7:00). the friendly guard asked for my appointment letter and ID then he asked if i have cellphone, i said "i don't have it", then he said "how about ipod?" i jokingly replied to him "i don't have ipod but i have playstation here with me ", then he just looked at me and smiled.

Everything went smooth and easy (from passing the DS Forms upto finger scanning) til i reached the pre-screening. I thought the pre-screener was nice and friendly caz she started to greet me good morning. She then asked me to hand her the NBI Clearance, Marriage Certificate and Birth Certificate but then she became rude when she saw that the receipts were still attached to the papers. She asked me "why do you have receipts here? are you going to reimburse this papers?" but then i answered her in a nice tone "oh sorry caz i thought it is needed". The second thing she asked for is the Tax Returns (2007) and Affidavit of Support. She asked me on why is it the Tax Returns has only 2 pages. I nicely replied "that is what the IRS sent to my husband but i think the 3rd page you are looking for is at the back of the 2nd page" she looked at the back of the paper and never said anything. I was waiting for her to ask the W2s but she didn't asked for it instead she asked me questions:

1. What is the petitioner's name?

2. What is your name?

3. When was the first time he visit you and until when?

4. When was the last time you saw him?

5. When did you get married?

She wrote all my answers in a paper then after those questions, she asked for pictures and emails. I gave all the pics and emails that i have and then she asked me to go to the waiting area. I thanked her but again she never said anything. when i sit back to the waiting area, I almost burst out from laughing remembering the reimburse thingy lol! I told myself what if i answered her "can i?" lol!

My number flashed on the screen and it says window 32. i was like "Oh my! the famous window 32!! " lol! The CO was a young pretty american girl. She never smiled or even looked at me (nasayang lang ang facepowder at lipstick ko! lol!). She greeted me good morning then asked me to raise my hand and swear that i'll tell the truth blah! blah! She asked me these questions:

1. Where did you meet? ---- We met in Yahoo Literati.

2. What is that? ---- It's a Yahoo game.

3. What's the petitioner's name?

4. What's your name?

5. How old is your husband?

6. What does he do?

7. How old are you when you get married?

She browsed at the emails and pictures that i submitted while asking me those questions. After that, she told me to go back to the waiting area and wait for name to be called. It only took me 2 mins in the CO room i went back in the waiting area wondering if i passed or what caz the CO never said anything. At last my name was called and I was asked to go in window 37. I GOT PINK SLIP ONLY!! WOHOOOOOOOOO! I wanted to shout bec i am so happy but then thank God i was able to stopped myself or else the guard will kick me out of the embassy lol! woohhhoooooooooooo! :dance: i was teary when i got the PINK SLIP caz i know i'll be with my husband very soon!
