visa interview today - pink slip YAY !!!

[wizardfitz 13]

i had my interview scheduled today at 7am. got to the embassy at 530am, had to walk all the way to the other end where the waiting shed to wait til my appt time was called. the skies started to darken and soon enough it started to rain. i had to buy an umbrella and take shelter by the waiting shed which made my miss the call for the 7am appts. luckily, i heard one of the vendors telling someone else they had to wait coz they have only allowed 730am appt holders. i rushed to the entrance, showed my appt email, my drivers license. went into gate 2, had my bags scanned and patted down by the guard. went into the *blue* room and was directed by the guard to take a seat on the last row. waited until we were called to submit the dox (156, 156k, 157, appt email). given my # 7034 and sent back to my seat to wait to be called for the finger scan.

they had to redo my finger scan like 3 times coz it wasnt coming up clearly. finally sat back down to be called for the pre-screener. my pre-screener (window 20) was very nice, amiable and friendly. he makes jokes and he very kwela =D. i enjoyed talking to him since he kept me at ease and i wasnt nervous at all. he asked for pix, proof of relationship, evidence of support, my nbi/birth cert and cenomar. once done the excruciating wait began. i kept waiting and waiting and waiting and didnt get called til almost 11am or i think even past that.

i went into window 29 *actually its a room LOL*. the consul was very nice. she had me swear to tell the truth then started to type, look at my file and ask me questions:

your fiance has an unusual facial hair

where and when did u meet

how many times did he come to see u

when was the 1st time, the last time

have either of u been married

how many times has he been married

why did he get divorced

were all his ex wives american

do u think being friends first is impt

why did u decide to get married now

what does he do for a living

does he have any kids

how many and with whom

have u met his kids

does he live in a house or an apt

then she looked over everything and said everything looks fine, your visa is approved. just go outside and wait to be called so we can give u instructions on how your visa will be delivered.

i told her thank q and i wanted to give her one of our engagement party favors but she deferred and said they are not allowed to accept anything from applicants.

so i went out and not even 5 mins went by i was called to window 38, the guy gave back the pix, the emails/ims but they kept the evidence of support papers including the paystubs, tax returns etc. he gave me a pink slip and advised me that my medical expires 29Oct and if i am still here at that time i will need to redo my medical.

i proceeded to the delbros counter and filled out the delivery form, paid 250 and that was it!

i met jhen (gabrielle08) inside, actually she approached me coz i didnt even see her, i was way in the back and she was in front and she recognized me. thanks sis for saying hi =D

thank q Lord for blessing me and mike today !!!! thanks to all the vj family who helped us along the way and we hope we can count on u again when we do our AOS.
