USEM Interview experience

[Chin2003 0]

It's 11 am now and we just got back from the interview. We were scheduled at 7 am but we arrived at the Embassy at 5 30 am. It was pouring rain. We didn't bring any umbrella so my daughter, fiance, and I went straight to the gate. The guards were really rude. We practically begged them if they can allow my daughter to go to the waiting area for shelter but they refused it and told us in a rude manner that we're not allowed to go inside (not even my daughter) and that we should step out coz we were blocking the way. My fiance was really pissed off coz they were so rude and inconsiderate of the kids who got wet coz of the rain. We ended up buying 2 umbrellas from vendors outside the Embassy (cost P150 each). We walked to the waiting shed where we met Jomay (MrsArtis). She was so kind to put some of my stuff on her bag as we were carrying a lot and we are so wet from the rain. Around 6 10 am, we decided to proceed to the gate but was told that they still won't let us go inside. We met Relyn, her son, and Patrick who were waiting outside too. The guards keep telling us to go further and just wait to be called.

Finally, they all allowed us to go inside at 6 30 am. We got our number and waited for finger print scanning. K2 don't need to be scanned. They just ask you to show them your son/daughter. Mely was with Jomay and Relyn. During the pre-screening interview...the lady asked me a lot of questions and what happened to my previous K-1 visa application. She took some of the money remittances, chatlogs, emails, pictures, and took my fiance's W2 form, ITR, and affidavit of support. After 15 minutes, my number was flashed again for the interview with the Consul. The female blonde Consul was really nice. She speaks tagalog and was really friendly. The interview lasted for just 5 minutes but most of it was just to talk to my daughter. She's enjoying talking to my daughter and they were all laughing at her. Then she said, "Well, everything seems good now. All we need to do is to verify if you're not really married. Just wait for your name to be called."

Once my name was called, the guy gave me a pink slip and asked me to pay at Delbros. (P310 each applicant)

It was really a nice experience. It didn't took us long to wait for the Interview. I got to meet other members of VJ too. They're all very nice. I wish we spent a little more time with them but my fiance's still pissed at how we were treated by the guard. Haaayyy!!! They don't have sympathy for all the kids who got wet due to the heavy rain.

REMINDER: Make sure you pay your visa fee prior to your interview date. The lady in front of me didn't pay her visa fee so she was instructed to go to the bank to pay for it and if she's not back before 10 am. They will re-schedule her interview after 3 months.

I am sorry to hear about the rude guards. They should be considerate of your child getting wet. Also about your reminder, there are really a lot of applicants specially those who are not member of forums like VJ who don't know the "what-to-dos." It's sad she's re-scheduled.

You deserve the biggest CONGRATULATIONS! You did your best and quite glad everything went well inside USEM
