i had my interview at USEM last friday, Nov. 21 and I PASSED! kicking.gif

i was there at exactly 5am when the guards were already calling in the applicants for the 6:30 interview. we all lined up and showed our appointment letter to the guards and was let inside the waiting area of the embassy. the lady i sat down nexyto was all nega! she was telling me stories about how people she knew got denied! she was making me even more nervous than i already was! goodness! so i just stopped talking to her and just prayed instead...

at 6:00, they already let us in.

6:18 - i got my number (6007)

6:45 - interview with the pre-screener. she just asked a few questions.

-how i met my husband.

-when was the last time i saw him.

she made me sign the 2nd part of DS230 and then asked for our pictures.

7:20 - finger scanning

and then at 8:00, the consuls started calling for interview. they called for the elderly first and then those with children with them.

8:30 - my number flashed on the screen. my interviewer was a young consul maybe in his mid 30s. he was even the first one who greeted good morning. hehe!

he browsed through my files and asked questions while doing that. he asked when the last time i saw my husband, how come he hasn't gone home after that yet, what his work is, where he is based, and how old he is. he even said, i might be happy to know that my husband is not a criminal at all! haha! he looked at our pictures and said, we are a nice looking couple. i offered to show him our scrapbook and he said he is fine with the albums he has. and after that he said "yours is one of the most boring cases we have, which is a good news for you!" when he said that, my heart was already leaping with joy. but i still had to hear him say the exact words so i asked, does that mean sir, that i passed? and he said "yes" with a big smile! yay!!!! kicking.gif

so i went out of the room and went to window 37 and the lady there gave me my appointment letter attached with is the famous pink slip!

and then i went to the delbros booth to pay the delivery fee. and then i remembered that i paid for DV so i asked the lady there if i could refund the 650 i paid. she instructed me to go to the embassy pavilion and talk to MS. Anna. their record shows that the embassy didn't order for my document verification so i can actually refund my 650. she gave me a number to call. but i think i'll probably just let the 650 pass! keri na yun, i passed naman eh! hehe!

meaning, WALA NA TALAGANG DV guys!!!

thanks to all of you! good luck everyone!
