Hope you can share you interview experience for us who's in line. :)

Happy for you! Congratulation!

Hi Piscean,

Thank you so much for your greetings... We really appreciate it all guys..

Well sure no problem, I would share with you also the questions that were being asked from me by the pre- screener and CO..My interview experience I've had this morning was really great.I could say, I was very much lucky and blessed to have a very nice and approachable pre-screener and CO..I was interviewed at window 17 ( pre-screener). She just asked me the following questions ( wag kayong matakot dito sa stage na to kasi usually most of them asked in Tagalog kasi mga Pinoy sila < i mean the pre-screeners).

1. What is my name?

2. Whats the name of my petitioner?

3. How and when did we met?

4. Does your fiance work?

5. What is his work?

6. When did you met him in person? where?

7. Did you work abroad before?

Then after that she asked my identification papers: BC, CENOMAR, NBI... and the affidavit of support ( I gave her these docs: 2007 ITR, W2, latest 3 pay stubs, 401 K)..Few minutes after that she looked back at me and smiled.. I was told to go back to the blue chairs and wait for my number to be flashed again on the query board for the final interview with the american CO..I waited again for more than 1 hour... American CO's starts their office at 8 am, well im done with my finger printing and pre- screening before 8 am comes but since there are some people ( the immigrants applicants under cr1-ir1/2 , etc) whome given an appointments at 6 :30 am ( Mine is 7 am), so they were the ones who were being interviewed first by american CO's..Time comes when my number flashed again on the query board ( 9:10 am) with the window # where you will be interviewed. I stand up and went to the assigned window/room (window # 30).. Theres one USEM staff who will guide you there. I was being instructed to wait and sit dowm ( there are chairs placed right outside the door) since the door is still closed so it means the CO is still interviewing the person before me..After 5 mins, the door opened, the woman came out and time for me to get inside...Here it goes....AS i got inside I saw a short hair blonde woman in her mid-40's I think. I greeted her good morning and she greeted me back... YOu will be asked to raise your right hand and swear that all the things/ words ur gonna be telling / saying to them are all true and correct.. She started to check all of my documents and then asked me the following questions : ( It is just all about my fiance and me)

1. Whats the name of your petitioner?

2. How did you met him?

3. Was he married before?

4. Does he has kid(s)? How old is she?

5. Do you know the name of his first wife? Whats her name? ( she asked me twice with this question)

6. Do you the reasons why did they divorced?

7. What does he do for a living?

8. When was the last time you saw him?

9. Were you been married before?

10. What do you do for a living?

11. Where did you work?

Again she checked all the documents, making sure that everything is okay. She faced at her pc ,encode something and look back at me again..She smiled and said: Okay, YOUR VISA IS APPROVED !!! GOODLUCK ! ( Those were the last words I heard from her)I replied : Thank YOu So Much Ma'am ( with a very BIG smile on my face).That took only for 10 minutes. I go out from the room and wait for my number to be flashed again for the results at the releasing counter ( window #37)..

After 2 minutes, my number was flashed again and time for me to fall in line at window 37 for the results..and you kow what? YESSSSSSSSS, Ive got the famous color PINK...INDEED!!! ( (9:30 am). I was told then to pay air21 for the visa delivery fee.. ok, I paid P215.00 ( Im from Bacoor Cavite, not that away from Manila) so it isnt that much..So people who came from Visayas and Mindanao, you better have to prepare extra amount because the fees varies ( depends on where you came from).

To all of you who will be having their interview soon ,wish you the best and Goodluck! Relax, be confident with yourself and plz try to answer the questions the best you can..Please dont forget to ask guidance from HIM..HE really answered all my prayers..

God is so GREAT...

MABUHAY TAYONG LAHAT!!!

Thank you! You had a smooth interview. :) By the way I'm from Imus, not far from you place.

Congratulation again. God bless.
