My Interview Experience

[clarabel 0]

Just wanna share my interview experience this morning..

I woke up around 5 am to prepare for my 7:30 interview, left the house by 6:30, arrived at the embassy before 7 am.

When I arrived at the embassy people are already falling inline so I hurriedly went to k1 line.

I think it doesn't matter if you arrived early or just before your interview time as long as you're not late..hahaha

The guard asked me of my interview confirmation, i thought it is the email that the embassy has sent me but he's looking for the letter that the embassy sent with your case number and an id...but you also need to bring your appointment letter.

Went straight to Gate2, one by one you have to pass by the metal detector and put your things at the xray machine...got no problem at all as I don't have any gadgets. After the xray, you have to go out and turn left to go to the immigrant section. I thought k1 visa are non-immigrant but there's no one in that room so i went inside the immigrant section room where there are lots of people. (Also asked the guard if i'm in the right room)

The room was also full so I just sit near the seafearer's section, waited for my turn to get the ticket number...

While waiting for the guard's instruction, a lady came and told us to prepare the ds forms and make sure to fill them out correctly and completely.

As she said, if you leave some numbers blank it's like hiding something from them..so if a question is not applicable to you..just put N/A.

Also in DS-156K, which is under "DO NOT WRITE BELOW THIS LINE"..she said fill it with your fiance's name and sign it while waiting.

When the guard asked for those who are on 7:30 schedule to fall in line at the ticket booth..i hurriedly went there..gave them all the DS forms: 2 DS-156, 2 DS-157, 1 form from the bank, 1 DS-156k, and my appointment letter.

I was asked how far my pregnancy is. Then she told me to sit down and wait for my name to be called for fingerscanning. that's STEP 1.

STEP 2: Finger Scanning

You should be attentive while waiting for your name to be called..around 8:20 my name was called for fingerscanning at window 33.

It was fast and easy as the lady who's assisting is nice and smiling so it didn't last for 5 minutes that's including waiting for your turn and the finger scanning itself.

Sit back again and wait for your number...

STEP 3: Pre-screener

My number was called at 8:40 am at window 25, the prescreener is a nice lady..she's accomodating and smiling..

She asked for my:

1. NBI

2. NSO BC

3. NSO Cenomar

4. Affidavit of Support

5. Pictures

(She didn't asked for emails, letters, or any other evidence, maybe she thought my being pregnant is enough evidence at all )

Here are the questions she asked:

1. Is the father of your baby the petitioner? I said yes (obviously)

2. How did you met?

3. What's the job of your fiance?

4. When are you due?

5. How many times did he visited? For how long?

After that she said, just sit back and wait for ur number to be called again...

I think it just lasted for 5 minutes only.

STEP 4: Consul Interview

My number was called at exactly 9 am at window 32..

But I needed to wait outside because there's still an interviewee inside..

I waited till 9:20, while waiting I thought I will have to take that long to finish the interview..got nervous again..hahaha

So here it goes..

Went inside, i thought the consul was a little bit far from the door but then just when you entered the door there's 2 chairs in each side then it's the consul's window already..He said Good morning and i replied back..didn't take a sit until he told me to do so..

He looked like a nice american guy..maybe in his late 20's..a little chubby....he looked nice.

Here are the questions he asked me:

1. Who is the father of your baby?

2. How did you met him?

3. What is he doing?

4. What I'm i doing?

5. When are you due?

- at this part he was like counting the months and then asked his collegue about how long is the validity of the visa...so he said it's 6 months then he's like..oh ok i think you can still make it..just make sure you get the baby's NSO BC as soon as you deliver so that you won't have any problem if you wanted him to be with you when you leave..as I know that it will take 3 months to get an NSO BC..I told him it's just 2 weeks to 1 month..and he said ok

then he paused and enhale deeply...and typed something in his computer..while he's doing this I can't help but notice how his stroking the keyboard..(hmn..i don't want to think he's a gay..hahaha..) after typing something..then checking back the documents..he said..OK, you're approved! Just wait outside and wait for your name to be called..Goodluck for your baby!!! I said thank you! and i gave him a big smile.

As I walk going outside the consul's room..i'm like floating in happiness..thanking GOD for the gift he's given..

While waiting for my name to be called..i could feel baby Rohan kicking inside me..maybe he's happy that we're approved..and i know that he's my lucky charm!!!

Then my name was called at window 38, this is the releasing window..he gave my pictures back..gave me pink slip..then asked me on how far im i..then suggested that i should get a boarding pass for baby before leaving the country. I thanked him and went to the delbros area.

At delbros, i filled out a form for the delivery of my visa..then paid 250 pesos..then went out the embassy..

NOTES:

I wasn't asked for my baptismal..letters, emails..and document verification..I think it's because i paid last March 25 and it's enough for them to verify my documents.

I also saw SHAPE at the embassy..it's just that we have to be separated because she's on k3..but did saw her just after my consul interview.

I WANT TO THANK YOU ALL..FOR THE INFO'S THAT YOU'VE POSTED...IT MADE MY JOURNEY EASIER!!

GOODLUCK TO THOSE WITH UPCOMING INTERVIEW!!!
