K1 interview...USEM

[Babydolljen 0]

Good Day VJ Family,

I arrive USEM before 6 am today. I am on batch 3 already.

Then fall in line and prepare your passport and the DS forms.

PLease paste the photos on DS 156. i really thought they are the only one who attach our photos on form. But no worry in case you haven't pasted it yet.

There were vendors there and you just pay 5 pesos for two pics pasted.

What a good business!. Paste can be bought by 3 pesos only.

But yes it is more than worth it. Then while pasting my photos i can really see they brought along their CD chest X ray. And i didn't brought mine since i was instructed to bring it only in the USA.

Thank you that i read VJ K1 interview experiences here. That do not listen to all what you heard outside.

After giving the passport and DS forms for the gurad to check we went inside again and another security check. Then give our forms and they attach number on it. I got 6077. And waiting begins.

I first called to window 42 for finger scanning, 4 fingers left and right then the thumbs.

Wait again then called on window 35 for Filipino interviewer. Give your NBI,CENOMAR and NSO birth certificate. Then the BPI receipt and the AFfidavit of support or form I-134. and do the interview.

He asked about him, me and look for our photos. And asked why i only have few photos for two times he visit. I answered that's all i printed and the rest is on USB. He doesn's say anything and told me to just wait your number to be called.

Then i am called on window 59, a young American maybe on 30's. Take my oath. He asked me about him, how did we met and how he propose. When the last time we saw each other. Then asked for photos. To be honest i cannot barely hear when he spoke so i need to ask his questions again.lol, he spoke far from microphone and look on monitor. I amthinking there were questions there? and his window is a bit "kept" unlike the others that is very open and we can easily hear the words. Then he say something again about domestic violence and told to wait to be called for further instruction.

My name was called on window 72, numbers weren't flash anymore this time. Then the woman told me that i can return home and wait for my visa.

And everything finishes around 10:20 am. Then before i left, i grab a t shirt with US embassy on it for 400, it is a good deal. A souveneir for me.

For everyone, just familiar with the dates of his visits and the day he proposes to you.

Goodluck and thank you everyone.

Jen.

Thank you for your info!

Did you have to have a passport on ALL the copies of the DS 156?

And how many passport photos in ALL did you need?

Thanks again!

In my case, I did not submit any photos at all during the interview. Photos that I submitted during the medical were the ones that the Filipino consul used and glued on my papers. Congratulations Jen!!! :dance:

They didn't take any of the 2X2 photos from my wife either, she had them in a pouch with other pictures. Still has them.

Interesting that they are making a point of having the photos pasted now.

You are welcome JedNik and thank you too. I do bring a photocopied passport on the interview but they are not going to ask for it. They only need a valid passport then those required documents for interview. A photocopied passport was indeed asked for medical examination.
