Congrats and Good luck on your USA trio....you can get cfo sticker (if u have attended the GCC before USEM interview) if you have your visa in your hands...Gracey, i suggest do your medical one week before your USEM interview because that is the advised of USEM but of course you can do it now if you like....have a nice week ahead to all...God bless us all.

My interview schedule was 7:30 am ,since i live in province and trying not to miss my bus to go home i though going early in embassy will help to finish ryt away (IM WRONG)..

I went to US embassy at 4:30 am,theres a lot of applicants already in line ...6:00am when they allowed us to enter in the gate of embassy ,first ..they told us that we need to ready all the DS forms 2 copies of 156,157 and 1 copy of 156k together wth a passport...after checking that u will proceed to embassy for scanning ur bags...electronics/food are not allowed inside ,so if ever u have leave that to your relatives or whoever who is wth you that time..after scanning u will fall inline again for them to check ur papers and gve you your number...then proceed to the waiting area....you need to review your DS Forms carefully and dont leave any blanks ..if you are sure enough that ur papers is good go to window 39 and leave it der...waiting is the hardest part dotn let ur number pass or else it will take time for it to pop up again..im a little bit disappointed in this part coz most of the co-applicants who came late finished der interview earlier than me..its already 11:30 am and guess what my number still not pop up on monitor...im a lil bit worried but no choice need to wait more...after few minutes finally they satrt to get my finger prints ...and my interview wth filipino (she asked for my BC,NBI,CENOMAR,AFFDVT OF SUPPORT and PICTURES )and american consul followed(HE JUST ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT MY FIANCE AND I SO I FND IT EASY)(ITS TAKES 5-10 minutes interview for each consul) im hungry and tired but when i heard that my visa is approved i feel happY AND i feel safe smile.png... time to wait again ..3:30pm when my name called on window 73 he told me that just wait for my visa to be deliver and told me that i can go home now....the end hiihihi

some of us worried what to bring as evidence ,in my batch case they just asked for pictures ...godbless and goodluck to all

I can feel your Happinesssmile.png , like what i feel when i pass my k1 interview 5 years and 4 months ago.

Congratulations!good.gif

You're welcome Jowsa. I have a question. Can I do an advance medical exam? My interview is on Oct 30.

I would say NO, they said that the medical should be done the same week as the interview so I wouldn't do that if I were you.They surely want the most recent medical exam.

Congrats JOWSA I can't wait for mine too... smile.png

Good luck to us all who are still waiting and God bless everyone on your journey.

congrats Jowsa! when was your interview? i had mine Sept. 12 and just waiting for my visa. Visa application status shows, READY, your case is open. How about yours? some of the other applicants that i know on the same date that i had, their status are already in AP. i am bit worried coz it seems to me that they are not even reviewing or checking my paperwork. sad.png hopefully in 2 days i will have a good update from them. i will have my CFO after i got my visa so i will not go back to just get the sticker. smile.png i am looking forward to have my visa this week... Good luck to us! wink.png

Hi Jowsa! Big Congrats and God bless to you both. I and my fiancee are in the time before the interview and are gathering the proper documents. This may sound naive but, what does the BC stand for/mean that you had to show at your interview? We know what the NBI,CENOMAR,AFFDVT OF SUPPORT documents are. Thank you for ANY help you can provide.
