Unfortunately I got 221g for the following items:
1. ROM Record Search under Maiden Name. I have one with me but in my Married name.
2. Financial Evidence from my Joint Sponsor. They want to see her 2016 Tax Return since 2015 is lower than the poverty guidelines. Despite of her current pay stubs submitted.
It was nerve wracking experience given my circumstances. My husband has 2 felonies on his record and we are relying on our joint sponsor to meet the financial requirements. My husband previous income wont cut it though this year is better.
So I arrived at 8:45AM, my appointment is at 9:30AM. The guard let me in and had me pass a scanner and my bags for xray. I didn't bring any electronics so just went through quick and off I go. The next security staff checked my bag again and let me pass through another scanner.
A staff was waiting and directing you as to where the interview section is. I was given a queue number a... read complete review

221 (g) at first interview. Jaz went to the interview and everything was fine until they got to her NBI. She had name and sex errors on her original Birth Certificate but got them corrected in 2012 so the CO ( a man ) told her no problem, VISA is pending, get an updated NBI for her incorrect original name as well as her correct updated name. She did that and sent it in.
Then they called and said she was scheduled for a 2nd interview and to bring government issued IDs and anything else that proved who she was. 3 days before her second interview, a female CO called her and told her to bring the court order used to change her Birth Certificate.
The law on changing name and sex errors on Birth Certificates (RA#10172)was changed on August 15, 2012 but did not go into effect at all locations until sometime after that. I suspect Jaz's lawyer may have been hired to make the changes prior to the new law so there probably should have been a court order but the que... read complete review

Scheduled for 6:45am. Done before 8pm. Process is organized and quick.
You had to go through data entry/verification(?) and then consul interview (filipino), fingerprinting and then the american consul interview.
The consul just asked me of the ff;
My name/Fiancee's name
Our age
How we met
When I last saw him
How many times he visited
How he proposed
Where he lives/his occupation
If he got kids
If I have been out of the country/ which countries
My current occupation
She gave me the violence against women pamphlet and told me I passed the interview. My visa will be delivered by mail 7-10 days and that's it.
No documents, pictures or any other proof of relationship was asked to present. You just need to be confident on how you answer the questions. Be also clear when speaking. I saw several applicants wherein the other consuls and the same consul who int... read complete review
