It's been a while since I last visit this thread (yaaayyy I miss you guys)...

I got busy when Jeff returned here in my country, then after he went back home, I was so busy preparing all my documents for interview.

And yesterday I had my interview, just an update, people I got APPROVED

To everyone who are done with interview congratulations!!!

And for those waiting for visa delivery, WOW this is it! We are few days away to be reunited with our fiance`/fiancee...

Good Luck everyone! Keep smiling!

I feel so happy that everyone's first leg of their journey is almost coming to an end. My fiance will be here for good on the 27th (OMG! 9 DAYS!!!), we are moving in to our new house on Halloween (the 31), and will be married Dec. 7.

I just wanted to thank you btw for reading your tidbit on the May thread about contacting the DOS for information. I hadn't read that anywhere else here and if it wasn't for calling them, I wouldn't know about our interview date and all that..thanks!

Hi all!

Long time no see, I have been so busy with packing for my upcoming move and planning the wedding.

As we speak, my fiance is on a one-way flight to come home to me for good! Finally!!! I am so anxious though, I HATE flying, and knowing he is up in the air is doing a number on my stomach!

Jeffcloe-I like your picture, you two are so cute!

Everybody take care, and have a great Halloween!

Heather

And... please post your experience with the Embassy in Singapore. Our interview at the Embassy in Singapore is in 13 more days!

[Prawninator 138]

I PASSED! I'VE BEEN APPROVED!!! OMG!!!!!!

Now I just need to call the clinic at Gleneagles and tell them to send the medical, because the embassy didn't get it #######. Why are people always screwing up on me lol. Anyway, I'm too happy to be mad at them.

This is my experience at the Embassy of The United States in Singapore. I got there an hour before my interview time (I arrived at 8am, interview was at 9am) and started queueing at the tent outside the entrance. You'll know what I mean when you see it. It was only five minutes before 9am did I realise that I was in the wrong queue! The queue was for typical travel and non-immigrant visas. Ours on the other hand, is an immigrant visa (like the lady at Counter 2 quite rudely told me so, when I had taken the wrong queue number), so I spoke to the security guard and he let me in.

A couple of things you have to note is, if you can, use a clear plastic bag, like the ones that the Duty Free Shop gives when you purchase stuff. Do NOT bring your mobile phone. If you do, no problem. They'll keep it aside until you come back out. I'm not sure who can enter, but I believe the person who is petitioning you can show up. I showed up alone, and I'm not sure of protocol, so don't quote me on that one.

Once you're in there, ask around and you'll see the room for (non)immigrant visas. Don't worry about your interview at this point; it's not going to be in a dark, stuffy, windowless room with a large table separating you from the interviewer. That was what I thought it was going to be like, hahaha. Go up to the queue machine and press the FIRST BUTTON. Do not press the rest, the first one is the one you want. If you press the last button you might get that grumpy lady at Counter 2

Your number would be 00-something, so watch out for it, should be at Counter 7. Have your Consulate letter and passport ready, along with your DS-156 and 156K, and submit them to her, along with your cashier's check if you haven't already sent it in (which I stupidly did lol). She also asked for the original and a copy of my birth certificate, after which she certified that the copy is true. She hung on to those for a while, and after asking me a few questions, like were we ever married, did we ever have any children. Simple questions, and to the point. She also asked me for the two 2"x2" passport photographs of myself which I provided, the affidavit of support I-134 and I provided it along with letters from his bank and employer, and some copies of his paychecks. She then told me to take a seat (there was like sooooo many other people in the room lol) and said that my name will be called in a while.

So after a while, my name was called, and I spoke to this American lady, who asked for further evidence. I provided photographs and testimonials that Karl's friends and parents wrote, as well as a couple of phone bills stating that we have indeed been contacting each other. She looked over everything twice, stuck my photographs on to some forms, told me to raise my right hand, affirm/swear that all the information I had provided is accurate and true, and I just looked her in the eye, and said "Yes." Then she told me to go to the next counter, and congratulations.

Soooo... yeah! Settled everything at the next counter, and I'm collecting my passport the following Friday!

I'M SO HAPPY!!!! :dance: :dance:

Don't lose hope, if there's anyone from April left... YOU CAN DO IT!!

Big hugs to everyone!
