My interview went well, I had a very nice and smiling Consul at Window 64.. I went to US last year on a K1 visa, got married there and had to comeback home for personal and work related reasons.

my husband filed a CR1 for me last May 2012.

5:00 am - in line

7:00 am - Guard let us in

8:00 am - Biometrics

8:30 am - Filipino officer interview, asked for additional documents like my NBI's, marriage contract. he also looked at our pictures. he asked me why i had to go back home

9:00 am - my number was called again and the same Filipino officer told me that US Consul is confused and wanted to have a clearer answer on why i had to go back home

10:00 am - Interview with American Consul, window no. 64

Consul: Good Morning, How are you today

Me: Good morning too sir, Im good.. and you?

Consul: I'm good too (smiled)then asked me raise my hand and oath

Consul: So, you are married with (American ####..this only meant for my ex :D ) first?

Me: No Sir, i was married to a Filipino (####) first (still smiling)

Consul: Oh, ok, then to Mr (American ####), then to (present husband)

Me: That's right Sir,

Consul: running through my papers... So, you got married there?

Me: yes, sir

Consul: have you been to US with (American ####)?

Me: No sir

Consul: How long did you stay in the US?

Me: 60 days Sir

Consul: I see, so how do you like the house... ?

Me: I like it very much Sir, quiet neighborhood, big porch, i learn how to cut the grass using the lawn mower :D

Consul: (Smiling as ever, cute!) that's very good.. he looked at the computer and said..Oh, you've been here (US Embassy) many many times ..

Me: Unfortunately, yes sir :D

Consul: Ok well, all i can say is that.. you're not going to comeback in this place anymore... you promise? (smiling)

Me: raised my right hand and said... I Promised Sir :D
