my appointment was 7am... i arrived around 6am... i saw a long line infront of USEM but dont go where the crowd's at... ask the guard infront coz the K3 K1 lines are way shorter than the others... show ur appointment letter when u get there and a Valid ID... then they will tell you where to fall in line under the tent.. then one by one you'll get to the entrance where u need to have ur things xrayed... and after that you just follow the arrow going to the immigrant visa unit.. the guards will show you where to sit.. then per row they will tell you when to get your number ( when u get ur number, prepare your forms with you make sure signed and all the photos are attached, and all the details are answered, plus the appointment letter)... then just wait for the number to flash on the screens.. there are a lot of screens there so u wont missed it! at first my number flashed for window 22 and it was pre screening... others got to get finger scanned first before pre screened.. the numbers dont flash consecutively so make sure u pay attention to the screens... after the pre screening, the guy (he's gay and very very accomodating, friendly and had a little chit chat with me... so it was like talking to a friend telling him how did my love story started and a few other details, the packet my hubby sent was sooo thick that he didnt asked for more proofs except for the Affidavit of support and the documents needed for that - such as w2 1040 tax transcripts pay stubs and certificate of employment from petitioner..), i asked him to take some of the photos i have prepared, so he considered taking them.... after that he told me to wait for my name to be called probably for finger scanning at window 16... so it was called... after that... went back to sit with the new friends ive met there... and the long wait began!! the wait for the consul is soooooooooooo freaking looooooooooong!! more than 3 hours of waiting... i got there 6am, i finished almost 12noon... but the interview is sooooooo short... it was an american gurl around mid to late 20's, was nice.... and smiles whenever i answer a question she asks... questions are the following:

1. made me swear first that everything written in the docs are true...

2. who is my petitioner...

3. how did we met...

4. when did we first met...

5. how many times did he visit...

6. what does he do..

7. mode of communication...

8. what do we talk about everyday...

9. do we ever have fights...

10. how do we resolve our fights...

11. what are our similarities..

12. how long have he been working with the company...

13. is it my first marriage...

14. is it his first marriage.. and reason for divorce..

15. any kids???

16. what did i do in qatar... how long did i work there...

17. is it scary in Qatar????

thats it... and she told me that i am approved.. and just wait for the visa to be delivered... i asked her when can the visa be delivered since my hubby is excited to buy the tickets... and she said she cant really tell.. she said just wait for the visa before buying tickets...

then after that step... waited outside for my name to be called from window 37.. the releasing of documents... its the same gay guy who pre screened me so i was comfy talking to him and had our chit chats again... asked him the same question bout the visa... he said it depends on the finger printing... sometimes around 2 weeks time, sometimes less than a week... so he said the same thing,... to wait for the visa to be delivered....

after that he told me to go to delbros and pay for the delivery... thats it!!!!

make sure you bring FOOD snacks u can munch inside coz the waiting is tooooooo loooooooooooooong!!! and for sure u will get hungry... so have something to munch on...

the process is very easy... dont worry you will do fine... God Bless and congrats!!!!! hardly they deny visa's unless you really dont have supporting docs and even if you dont have enough docs, they will ask for it and ask you to come back for the needed docs... but so far, everyone ive seen are granted!! so CONGRATS in advance!!!!

LONG LIVE VISA JOURNEY!!!!!!! Mabuhay ka!!!!!!!!!!

congratz! :dance: thank you 4 sharing ur experienced with us it helps a lot... btw, i have some clarrification about this statement of yours...]( when u get ur number, prepare your forms with you make sure signed and all the photos are attached, and all the details are answered, plus the appointment letter)[/b]... is this the ds forms? u mean, i will sign at the back of my photo, the passport size photo... the one required by them and paste it in the ds form? u also mean to sign the ds form the one stating do not write below this line? im sorry for asking this... i just want to make it clear... hehehe :D
