Hello my fellow vjers...

First, me and my fiancee would like to give our deepest appreciation for all of your help and prayers, and for all the information that we have learned throughout this journey.

Yesterday, January 9, my fiancee went to the embassy for her interview. I'll go ahead and skip everything and go straight to the interview part.

When her number flashed, the consul (lady) was still interviewing a gentleman with the same type of visa application (K1) and she could hear her asking the guy so many questions and this made her feel more nervous. When it was her time she smiled and greeted her and the consul did the same. She told her to hold on for she was doing something with her computer. And then the questions began. TOTAL OF 4 QUESTIONS ONLY!!! THANK YOU GOD. Here are the questions:

1.) What does he do for living?

2.) Which state does he live in?

3.) How did you meet?

4.) Is he a Filipino?

She was very relieved and calmed because the consular and her had a CASUAL talk instead of an interview type of situation. On the third question about how we met, my fiancee told her that we met all the way back during our elementary years for we went to the same school til 6th grade. Then when the consular saw our class picture from the yearbook back in 1993 she was smiling so hard and chuckling and asked her to point where I was in the pictures and so was she. After showing her she laughed like in "kilig" way and said to her that we had a very beautiful love story for she hasn't encountered this before. So they started laughing together about that. Hehehe.. I thank my Lord Jesus Christ for answering our prayers.

After her interview she asked the consul if she could pick up her visa and all she said was..."OH SURE!!!" So she got the pink slip and filled out her contact information so when the visa is ready she can go ahead and pick it up. Now we are praying that the visa would be ready in a week for pick up.

FOR THOSE THAT ASKED FOR THEIR VISA TO BE PICKED UP, WHO CALLED OR TEXTED YOU? WAS IT STILL DELBROS OR THE EMBASSY? AND HOW LONG DID IT TAKE BEFORE THEY CONTACTED YOU? THANK YOU.
