Wow! How awful for all of you!

I think it is terrific that you stayed calm and weren't afraid to speak up and defend yourself, way to go!

Congratulations

Hay, Ok lang envy_me. As dbears would say...bakit daw parang teleserye buhay ko. I really don't know na talaga. Pero sana happy ending.

Oh and remember what I said that the picture you posted on how the window looks like at the embassy? Di ba I told you it looks like the window in the bank? My son was probably thinking it was a bank that's why he put money in the window! Hahaha!

yeah same as with the banks.. and oo nga parang teleserye..

well, things are bound to happen.. i know that god has his reasons for that..

and he knows you're strong to handle such mala-teleserye moments..

naku, until now nanggigil ako.. even my SO (gtron) nagagalit..

ansama nya!! lalo na to act like that in front of a kid..

whats does a kid know dba?.. tsk, tsk.. baby lang yun eh!

good thing talaga you're fiance was with you.. kung wala sha, i dnt think they would care..

u know naman, VIP treatment sa USC ang USEM..

well, as least happy ending na, visa na lang kulang..

goodluck and we hope you'll have your visa and your son's visa soonie!!!!!!

wow the first person interviewing you should find a job commensurate with her mental and emotional abilities - like flipping burgers.

I wanted to fight with the consul na talaga kaso pinigilan ko sarili ko kasi nasa alanganing lugar ako. Kaya si Stephen na lang... e kung magalit sya dun, ano gagawin sa kanya di ba? E US Citizen sya.

Uh yeah....imagine 520 pesos for a visa? its like $11! How cheap!

[alienlovechild 75]

Then I saw one 500 peso bill and one 20 peso bill that my son put in the window. She raised both her hands and made a scene inside.She was kinda hysterical.

The consul was an idiot for going crazy like that. I would think a 520 peso bribe wouldn't get you a visa so she made herself look like a fool. Some the embassy employee seem to only care about getting a paycheck. They should realize they are messing up some peoples', living in a foreign country and making a bad impression of the U.S. government as well.

The funny thing is the hiring process for foreign service officers is very strict due to the high number of applicants. Only about 2% of people who take the test actually get a job offer. Hard to believe she was in the top 2% of anything.

Wow. That's just horrible. I am so sorry you had to go through that, STEPHnRIA. Some people should definitely not be in positions of authority. Just think, though. Perhaps her actions with you have given them the amunition they needed to release her from employment.

Congratulations on getting your visa!

Ha-ha oo nga...baka naman mag me menopause na sya? LOL. Seriously, did you ever consider filing some kind of formal or well legal action or something like that? Did you get her name? I just thought baka kaseh madami pa syang mapag initang Pilipina at pahirapan sa interview at hanapan ng maibubutas? Oh well if not, it's fine, I'm sure naman na warningan na sya ng admin ng USEM...sana naman ay magtanda na sya at maging fair. Sana mag resign na sya, madami naman siguro syang pwedeng maging trabaho...mukhang di sya bagay na maging Interviewer.
