warwick8 · March 12, 2008

After 6 long days (4 working days), I got my Visa!!! Finally!! :dance: :dance: :dance:

would like to thank VJ for all the tips and advises my husband and I got here. Without VJ, the entire process would be like going through a maze blindfolded special mention to my newfound friends who've provided support and comfort....Lily and Dee (runs4fun), you don't know how much it meant to me that you guys stayed with me while I waited to get inside the embassy for almost an hour! you took my mind off the interview Peewee (mike_n_peewee) one hot mama, smart and super nice Margaux (margautix) uber friendly and sweet and iou & Cass (timcass) wish we'd all keep in touch

also to edp33, djturbo, roserick and pushbrk and others here in the Philippines forum

a short account of what happened during my interview:

appointment time 7:30 am ---arrived at the embassy 5:30, was let in around 6:20am

during the baggage check, I also had bottled water with me but the lady guard didn't ask me to drink from it (like Mari)

sat at one of the blue chairs --- arrange the forms DS156, DS157, DS 156, DS157 (remember to attach your photos and to write in all blanks. If you did it online and left a question blank, you can handwrite your answer. Just make sure to write none, N/A on the blanks or you might have to fall in line again for the number stub)

number 7030 -- always remember to look up at the numbers screen to see if your number is being flashed. Only in the finger scanning will your name be called. The rest of the process, it's gonna be your number that will be flashed.

Finger scanning -- 5 minutes after i got my stub, i was called for finger scanning. make sure your fingers are dry

Prescreener -- he asked what Dave does for a living, if he's a doctor too, how many times he came to visit and asked for paperworks

Consul -- saw my picture with his parents (who came 2x here, for the pamamanhikan and then for the wedding) and asked if his parents like it here and if they get along well with my parents, and to tell her more about my mom-in-law.

Window 38 --got the PINK SLIP

Delbros window --- pay for the delivery

was done around 9:45am

Delbros sent a message on March 11 that they will deliver the visa the next day and my visa arrived at 3pm of March 12

Thank you God for answering our prayers

God bless us all :innocent:
