My interview was scheduled at 7:10 AM. At 7 AM I lined up at lane 3 and ziplocks were being passed on to put our passports inside. The lady asked for my DS260 and she placed a barcode sticker on it.
During the prescreening, I gave my DS260, birth cert, marriage cert, CENOMAR/CEMAR, NBI clearance, SLEC sealed envelope and he also asked for the affidavit of support of my husband and joint sponsor with the tax transcripts (all the tax related documents). He asked for my name and birthday, my petitioner's name and birthday. He was busy looking at my papers and looking at the computer screen and he asked if I didnt upload my CENOMAR and new NBI clearance. (I didnt upload them on ceac) He just wrote down some notes on my papers and he just kept on stapling the documents and he asked if my husband is currently working and what was his job. He gave back my DS260 and told me to go to the next window for biometrics.
After that, the final interview. I gave my DS260 again and the American consul asked for my name and birthday. He asked who my petitioner was and his name and date of birth.
The questions I can remember were:
Is my husband currently working?
When was our wedding and where was the wedding held.
How did we meet, when did we start dating.
I think he asked again about what my husband's job is and when did he start working and before that what did he do. When was the last time we were together.
He also asked who my joint sponsor is. Where in the US does my husband and joint sponsor live in the US.
Also asked if I went out of the country and where. If it is for tourism and who paid for it.
He told me to get the paper in front of me and call the numbers on it to register my address and he also gave me two leaflets (English and Tagalog) about domestic violence and oriented me about it. He finally said, your visa is approved and he gave back my documents.
I was finished before 9 am, probably around 8:45. All in all, it was a great experience for me. No stress at all. |
