It was such a pleasant experience for me despite the presence of the tropical storm: Labuyo. Checked in at Casa Bocobo; took my breakfast and headed to embasssy. Arrived at 630; it took only within the first hour (around 7-8am) for me to finish my biometrics and the filipino staff interview. waited 3.5 hrs for my consul interview which took about 7 minutes only. Basic questions were asked: how we met, when will i bring my kid over to the US, commonalities, etc. Consul informed me my visa is approved. That's when i started to get frantic--coz i don't know where to put my happiness and I know I have to behave inside the embassy. Was out by 1145 and practically screaming, thank you Lord, as I head to the exit.
