Manila Embassy Interview

[joemaria 0]

Wow, i guess its hard how long you're going to wait or if you're waiting for a visa. "Everything Looks OK for now... and another "just wait if your visa arrives..." what if it takes for seem like forever. Why don't they just tell bluntly if one didn't pass or approved or under AR. Why can't they decide right away. I think for me its important to ask them politely whether we made it or not. "Congratulations!" is a clear answer but what if you get such words from the CO.

Why, i'm the one impatient (Or Am I Overreacting what if i'm the one on the situation??)

But I really hope it means you are APPROVED! And the visa be on its way anytime soon. Best of LUCK and CONGRATULATIONS! That took away a load of stress out of you, I'm sure.

Hahay, too true! Everyone was telling me it went okay, that I probably got it, but I'd really rather not assume that I did, just in case. It's really hard for me to decide, because although the consul was really nice (He looked part-chinese), the interview went really really REALLy quickly. He didn't ask about jobs, or stuff about how well we knew each other. Just, asked how we got to know each other and we focused on that. We were laughing and all, and he even told us our relationship was "Romantic. Weird.. but romantic." It felt like it was just two minutes!! The people seated around "my" chair were all agog because I was back SO quickly. They couldn't believe I was done. And because I was done SO quickly, I'm even more nervous... Maybe the 5-year relationship was given consideration?

I'm not in a rush, though, so not really in panic mode yet. I won't be able to leave til May anyway, cuz my mom has to undergo a hystorectomy, and I have to be here for her since I'm her baby girl. At age 26.

Lots of stress off my shoulders! I can eat again. And sleep! Woo!

Congratulations Iya!

We are so happy for you

Goodluck

I asked my baby if there was anything in her packet about a CFO seminar and she said "no". Does she have to go? I want to make sure she gets it done if she has too. She is doing a K-1.

I answered my own question. I see that she does.

Can she register and attend the CFO Seminar the same day?

CFO seminar is a whole day ordeal she needs to be early so that she can get the certificate on the same day.

Hi all. We (jackieadam and myself, and two other non-vj girls) finished with our interviews together today. we were in queue by about 430am, but only got in around 7 (which was okay.. that was our appointed time anyway. AND, because we were early and attentive, we were among the first 10 in the 7am slot). Some people inside the embassy are really mataray, but thankfully the prescreener, fingerprinter and consul were all nice.

The consul told me "Please wait til we call you again, good luck!". The same consul told my friend "Congratulations."

Now I'm paranoid. haha. I did pay the delbros thing, and the girl at window 37 did tell me "Everything looks okay.. for now. Just wait and see if your visa arrives." so I'm still hoping. Only one got AR, and she sort of knew it would happen because her st luke's test results didn't make it in time (she got her medical the day before!). 2 out of 3 companions isn't bad, so.. hopefullly it was actually 3 out of 4 people.

For now, I'd just like to think we got an OK

Time to make kulit the delbros page!

Hi update my case, Im approved. the question was easy and the consul was happy.Actually i saw Iya there when i heard Panlilio while waiting for finger scanning.But i was on the right wing of the room and so I just stay where i am at.

Saw one VJ member there boch (Jesse and Dyanne) and they also approved.

Thank God now take a deep breath ( sigh)

For those who are waiting , just relax , its not really hard as what we expect for.They dont even take a look at my other back up papers like emails and chat... And dont forget to pray

I had my medical exam done last April 18, 2006 at the St. Luke's. That was thru the US Navy appointment letter. Now i found out about my appointment date for my medical exam will be May 17, 2007. If others take early medical exam, and i take mine...is my last medical result still valid? Also i found this on http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwh3218.html "Medical results must still be valid upon the applicant's entry to the United States. Results of the medical examination are generally valid for one year. However, in certain cases validity may be limited to six months or less."

Anyone have gone through that experience? Thanks everyone.

hi everybody! iya and the rest of the girls weve met were altogether. i agreed to iya's statement some people there in the usa embassy has different moods. the interview went well. the first filipino who interviewed had a good comments with my love story as well as my work being a guidance counselor. he said i look so kind where he believes that a guidance counselor must have a very strong personality. after taking several documents we waited again on the queing board. on the last consul, he is most likely chinese has a good face impression upon seeing me . he asked my sister's name then strted to asked abt my friends photo together with my fiance. he wanted to know my opinion regarding jealousy. then asked me to tell about my fiance. as i kept on talking he said ok, "it seems that you hav prepared for this interview". after that, he confirmed if my fiance has a kid. i said none he was just divorced but without kid from his ex-wife. after that he said, congratulations and goodluck!just wait for your name to be called again. everything seems fine.

iya, i do believe everything will turns out well. u will get your visa. you are in my prayers and your mom.

Yehey to win78 and dr. terps for getting out of AR. Have a happy life together. Congrats to those who got approved. Good luck next week to B&N and alanluvsjudy.

Jackieadam, I can’t seem to find your name in our list. Can you please provide us with your timeline?

I apologize for not being active in the discussion lately. My access to VJ has been blocked in the office so I now have to fight it out with my nieces and nephews for computer time at home.

Yay, April is almost here. Takot ako!!!!!
