HI, THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE FROM THE MEDICAL IN SAINT LUKE'S UP TO THE INTERVIEW AT THE US EMBASSY MANILA WAS SUCH A STRESSFUL EVENT. IT HAS BEEN TIRESOME AND SCARY. NEVERTHELESS I WOULD LIKE TO PRAISE GOD ALL THE HARDSHIPS AND DIFFICULTIES PAID OFF WELL WITH GOD'S GRACE. HE GRANTED US VICTORY OVER THIS.
WE HAD OUR MEDICAL LAST WEEK OF APRIL AND WE HAD OUR INTERVIEW SCHEDULED MAY 18 AT 6:25AM. WE WERE AT US EMBASSY MANILA GROUNDS AT 4AM. WE LINED UP AT 5AM AND EVENTUALLY GET IN THE INTERVIEW WAITING AREA AT 6AM.
THE FIRST PERSON WHO INTERVIEWED US WAS A FILIPINO. HE SEEMS SARCASTIC BUT I HAD MY CONFIDENCE IN GOD AND THAT I MANAGED TO ANSWER HIM POLITELY.
THE THE FINAL INTERVIEW WITH A VERY HANDSOME WHITE AMERICAN CONSULAR OFFICER WHO WAS REALLY NICE. HE JUST ASKED US SEVERAL QUESTIONS WHICH COULD BE EASILY ANSWERED IF YOU AND THE PETITIONER ARE NOT COMPLETE STRANGERS. WE HAD A GOOD TIME TALKING TO HIM. THE ONLY THING THAT BOTHERS ME WAS THAT HE NEVER TOLD US OUR VISAS ARE BEING APPROVED. HE JUST TOLD US TO TAKE A SEAT AND WAIT FOR OUR NUMBER TO BE CALLED AT WINDOW 71 OR 72. WE HAD OUR NUMBER BEING CALLED AT WINDOW 71. WHEN WE WERE THERE THE FILIPINO MAN ASSIGNED THERE ALSO DID NOT SAY ANYTHING ONLY THAT HE SAID WE WOULD DROP THE 2GO FORM WE HAD FILLED UP EARLY THAT MORNING AT WINDOW 69. WHEN WE WERE AT WINDOW 69 THE LADY THERE TOLD US WE CAN GO HOME ALREADY. I WOULD LIKE TO JUMP WITH JOY AND REJOICE BUT THEN THE ANXIETY I HAD BEFORE THE INTERVIEW DOUBLED UP FOR THE REASON THAT I DO NOT KNOW IF WE PASSED OR NOT COZ NOBODY HAS TOLD US. WE JUST KEPT OUR FINGERS CROSSED THAT WE PASSED SINCE THEY NEVER RETURNED OUR PASSPORTS AND THEY HAD NOT REQUIRED ANY DOCUMENTS STILL TO BE SUBMITTED. THE FOLLOWING MONDAY I TRIED TO TRACK OUR DOCUMENTS WITH 2GO WITH THE HIGH HOPES THAT WE PASSED THE INTERVIEW. WITH GOD'S GRACE 2GO HAS ALREADY DETAILS ABOUT OUR DOCUMENTS AND IT SAYS THERE IN-TRANSIT. THE FOLLOWING DAY MAY 24,2011 WE ALREADY HAVE OUR VISAS AT HAND. THANK YOU LORD. YOURS IS THE VICTORY. HONOR AND GLORY BE UNTO YOUR NAME. WE PRAISE YOU AND HONOR YOU FOREVER...GOD BLESS TO ALL
