Hi VJ friends,

Today has been a wonderful and humbling experience for me. I got approvd of the k1 visa petition and was granted visa pick-up even if i just live nearby the embassy :)

I got there at 5am with my friends dee (runs4fun) and his pinay wife lilly. But i had to leave my celphone iwth peewee, another VJ friend.

We have a 630 appointment and were asked to get inside at 6am. We submitted the DSforms with the appointment letter then were given a queueing number. Both lilly and i went for fingerscanning at the same time. Then abround 730ish my number flashed for the pre screener interview. He asked for my BC, NBI, CENOMAR, Affidavit of Support, 2007 ITR of my bf and 5 photos and letters but i gave chat logs coz i said we talk on the phone 5x a day so we don't write emails that much.

He asked:

-Who is my petitioner

-how did we meet

-when was the last time he was here and for how long

-are u both single and do we have kids

-whose in the picture with u (pertaining to a picture taken at subic with friends)

-if i have immediate family in the US

-what does he do for a living

He gave back the 2x2 pics given to SLEC then he said to wait for my interview with the consul.

Around 845 i was called to Window 27 for the interview with the consul. Again almost th same time the dee and lilly were also called. We shared the room with 2 consuls, there was just a divider but all the other rooms had just one consul i think.

The consul asked all the same questions plus:

-if i know the reason why my cousin introduced my bf to me

-describe what kind of job my bf does

then he said "well ur papers are good so just wait for ur name to be called again outside."

I wanted to ask if i was approved but i just assumed so just asked casually if i can pick up the visa and even right b4 i was gonna say the reason for my request, he smiled and said "that wouldn't be a problem" then handed me the dark pink slip i should present for visa pick up. I still told him my reason and he just smiled.

Thats it. :whistle:

Tip: for those who wants to be granted the visa pick up, u may have a letter of request with you (but in my case i wasn't asked for it). But do not show the CO yet. Ask first verbally and casually. I have never read a denial for visa pick up so i guess it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Thank you so much VJ and WOF friends and administrators. Thes sites have been a great help and source of support

Apart from the approved visa, i also have a bonus! Meeting wonderful girlfriends: Peewee, Iou, Docjazzie, Lilly and her husband Dee.

Thank u also jenn (aki) and Dan & Weng!

Btw, my original BC, NBI,CENOMAR and affidavit of support werent returned to me. Anyone who just got approved has the same situation?

Many thanks again!
