To All VJers,

Just to share my experienced this morning.. My Priority Date is Dec. 26, 2008 and my wife became a Naturalized Citizen on October 11, 2011.. Anyway, I arrived at the Embassy @ 4:45Am and there's a long line of applicant already.. Before 6:00Am we proceeded to the first (Area): need to present Appointment Letter and Passport.. They will ask also if your medical exam result is in a CD or an Envelope.. After that, they will attached a number at your passport. Then we proceeded at the next(Area), they will give you a number and they will ask you to drop your Appointment Letter at Number 39.. You will wait for a couple of minutes for finger scanning.. After finger scanning, I was pre-interviewed by a Filipino, he's nice.. He asked my NBI Clearance and the Affidavit of Support.. He briefs me, that my Category will be upgraded from F2A to IR1 because my wife became a citizen on October 11.. Prior to that, I faxed a copy to the US Embassy of the Certificate Of Naturalization of my wife.. Then, he asked me of the following; THE NAME and BIRTHDATE of my WIFE, Where she live and asked me if I had some pictures in hand and he said he don't need to see but incase the CO will ask, I am already prepared and he ask me to sit down and wait for my number to be called.. After 30 minutes, my number flashed to screen, I proceeded to Number 51.. I greeted him and he greeted me also.. He asked my Full Name then he said Raised my Right Hand.. my answer: YES Sir.. After that, he asked me for a couple of question, NAME of my Wife, How we meet and my wife exact address.. Then, he said my PETITION is APPROVED and he asked me to sit down and I waited for 15minutes and then my number flashed and I proceeded to window 73 and the guy told me that my petition is approved then proceeded to the window of 2GO.. From 6:30AM time of my appointment and at 8:15AM, I already finished and got backed my Mobile Phone to the vendor.. GODBLESS US ALL..
