OMG! i hope this isnt becoming a trend for a 2nd interview for all peeps..

goodluck to all..

There is another one who is asked to undergo second interview but hers have at least a reason why:http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=144871

I also hope that going for second interview will not be the standard now... thinking of one interview was already nerve wracking how much more a second interview.. a panel interview at that.

HELLO;

I THINK THAT WE WERE THE FIRST TO BE TOLD, WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR FROM US ! THIS IS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND. WE PAID DELBROS A MONTH OR SO BEFORE THE INTERVIEW. I CALLED USEM TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO THE INTERVIEW AND THEY SAID THAT THEY HAD RECD. NOTIFICATION FROM DELBROS THAT WE HAD PAID. THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD START THE PROSCESS WITH THE NSO THAT DAY.

OUR INTERVIEW WAS AUGUST SIX. AFTER THE INTERVIEW MY WIFE WAS TOLD "WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR FROM US"!!! NO EXPLANATION OR REASON WAS GIVEN! WE HAVE BEEN FOURTEEN MONTHS TRYING TO GET A VISA. AT LEAST THEY COULD GIVE A REASON FOR ANOTHER DELAY. THE WAITING WITHOUT KNOWING ANYTHING IS ALMOST UNBEARABLE. I WILL CALL USEM MONDAY MORNING, I EXPECT THEY WILL GIVE NO INFO AND TELL ME TO CALL BACK IN TWO WEEKS, AS THEY HAVE ALREADY DONE TO OTHERS WITH THE SAME SITUATION.

Unfortunately, you are not the first to be told "wait till you hear from us".. there has been several cases already.. envy_me was only one among the many, some have even paid DV 2months in advance. I guess the verification system used by USEM which is DELBROS-USEM-DELBROS-NSO-USEM still needs a lot to be desired. Combined that with the fact that there are a lot of Philippine registry records (BC, Marriage cert., etc) that contains typographical errors and other sort of messed up entries and there are also late registered BC which sometimes post additional problem in the verification process.

I could understand the frustration, the waiting for visa part was the hardest part for me even though I only had to wait 13days.. what was even harder was my verification result were already with embassy that time, i did not get any white slip nor heard the "wait till you hear from us" words. So I was in complete limbo that time. When we called they would only say "it is still under review". I don't know what took them too long to review our case when another girl (who also have two kids and also on K1/K2) who had interview same day with me had their visa released printed that afternoon and was released for delivery the following day. For me, I was not even rushing to fly to the US, I just wanted to receive the visa so I won't have to worry if we were approved or not.

I hope you will get the visa soon... Same hope goes to everybody else waiting.

I was just wondering if there was a lack of evindence in this case such as chats, phone records and financial proof, pictures etc...?

which case were you referring to? Mine (dbears)? John & jean's? or sophee_ya's (the case on the linked thread)? Mine was probably just a case of confusion (overlooked files) coz there were 2 CENOMARs on my file: the one we submitted as supplement for I-129F and the verification result. I have more than enough evidence, I have all that you mentioned even other extra things. I even had too much, they never bothered to check it... as for the other cases, I couldn't say for sure.

most probably, if they will need more evidence, they will ask u particularly in prescreening stage.. in my case.. they only asked my primary requirement like I-134,BC, receipt, etc.. they didnt really asked my phone records, emails and cards but i offer the pre-screener to have it alhtough he just asked 1-2 copies each proof.

Anyway, when i was in the airport last Friday (goin' back to davao) i met a guy who have a friend working at US embassy (we chatted until boarding time). He told me that I’m lucky coz they approved my interview/case w/o hassle. He also gave me some info about the pre-screener and CO. what we said or gave info to the pre-screener will affect to our case. And the Consul Officer knew it if all your docs/info that you’ve given is genuine. CO is also a psychologist.

This could be a good reason why applicants should be aware and concious of the non-verbal signs they are transmitting : gestures: facial expressions, folding and unfolding of hands, even the way you enter the room, how you sit, eye contact, tone of voice. Dealing with psychologist is like being under microscopic lense. You might think they are not really noticing the little signs but they are actually looking through you and scrutinizing you.
