Steve and Margie

Thank you! Currently I am still unemployed. I sing and play piano on the side to make a little extra income. My daughter co-sponsored and I am only assuming that the embassy accepted her as our co-sponsor. Here is how the interview went in Margie's own words. "First, an American women asked me my name and my birth date and then took my finger prints from my left hand. I went back to the waiting area and waited for my number to be called again. 2nd, the Filipino consul is asking me for all my papers like the ds-forms, NBI, Cenomar, NSO birth certificate, form I-134, fiance's W2's and if I traveled abroad. I said yes and they asked for the police certificate (clearance). The Filipino consul asked me about my time in Taiwan, he also asked how long is our relationship, and how we met. The Filipino consul told me that I will wait in the waiting area again for my number to be called. The last person to interview me was a very polite African American! He asked only 3 questions, #1. When did the last time that i saw my fiancee? #2. Do you have any pictures of you and your fiance together? and the last question was #3.Is there any other place that you went abroad besides Taiwan? After answering his questions he told me I was approved!" My income for 2010 including unemployment benefits was roughly 12,000.00. NOTE: They did NOT ask my fiance any questions about my income, where I worked, if we had a co-sponsor nothing! They did not ask her the names of my children, how many children or what their birthdays are. Because I am out of work, I did not attend the interview, and I will have to sell some things to get Margie's ticket to fly to US because frankly, we just don't have it. I have a lot of faith in God and believe all this is His will. You have to hold to your belief and stick to your plan no matter what! If we had been denied, we would have followed their instructions and have done what ever was needed to accomplish our goal! Something that may have helped us a great deal is the fact that I had not miss one week of support to my son and fiance in the Philippines during this time of unemployment. Margie had every receipt from moneygram, but they did not ask to see them. They did not ask to see letters, IM's or emails either. Margie was at the US Embassy from 6:45AM to 10:30AM. It was a very pleasant experience according to Margie! We are so grateful and very excited to begin our new lives together. Brighter days are coming! I hope this information will be helpful to others that may be in a similar situation.
God Bless!!
STEVE AND MARGIE!

I don't believe the fact that you and your fiance have a child together proves your relationship. It definately proofs that you met, but is there a relationship? They want to see PROOF of your relationship. Cards and letters, emails, IM's, Pictures of you interacting with her family are good, Engagement ring reciept, pic's of an engagement party etc. Show them the proof. Good luck guys!!
