VISA APPROVED 10.11.2012

[Dear06 1]

1st of all I want say THANK YOU VJ FRIENDS for all the assistance and info that was given here.

About my interview…we stayed at BOULEVARD MANSION HOTEL and it was just a 3 minute walk going to the Embassy and the room was P1638 only.

So before my interview, my fiancé and I hung out in Mall of Asia until 11pm. So when we get back to the hotel I prepared everything. I went to bed around 12:30am and I woke up at 430am to prepare myself. At 5am we went to Shakey’s to eat breakfast. Then we went back to hotel at 6am to get our paperwork for interview.

At 615am we had arrived at the line. At 1st we fall in tourist visa applicants but thank god some people said we were in the wrong line. So we went to K1 line.

The security asked my DS forms (ds156k, ds157, ds156) 2 copies each, my 1st page of interview appointment letter, and my passport. She got all the DS forms and clipped them together with my appointment letter and she gave it back to me and told me to drop the packet to window 39 and just hold my passport. She gave me a plastic for my passport.

On our way to the entrance my fiancé had to go to the security line to deposit his cell phone. I kept walking so I wouldn’t lose my place in line. So my lucky number was 6099. I waited for my fiancé before we went to the windows where I needed to drop off my DS forms. After we dropped off my DS forms we sat at the waiting area. We waited for like 1 ½ hours for my number to flash. I think we sat around 730am then our number flashed around 845am. The 1st window was my pre-screener interviewer in window 41. He asked for my birth certificate, certificate of no marraige , NBI, and BPI receipt. He proceeded to asked me how we met, if I had traveled already and for how long. Then he asked my fiancé for the affidavit of support and 2011 tax return. He asked if it was the 1st visit for my fiancé here in Philippines and he said it’s his 3rd time. The Filipino pre screener said ok and to wait for your number to be called again. So we sat down and waited for 10mins and proceeded to the 2nd Window for fingerprints. After the fingerprints we sat back down again and we waited for another 30mins for the American Consul interviewer. Our number flashed and off to window 62. It was an American girl around 25-35 years old. She asked me how we met, if I had traveled and for how long. Then she asked my fiancé if he’s active duty Army and if we are the only people who will live in his house. And he said yes. Then she asked for pictures. I tried to insert the photo album in the window slot but she just said just turn the pages and I just turned like 3pages and she said ok everything looks great and to wait again for your number to be called. We already knew I was approved. And so we sat back again and waited for our number to flash. After 30mins had passed we went to the 2go window and the lady there congratulated me and said just wait for their text. At 1030am we walked outside the embassy laughing and we were so happy… laughing because I had like 3-4 reams of clear book for pictures and proof and the consul just looked at 5-10 pictures.. LOL
