I just want to share my Interview experience today=)

---- arrived 5 am, still dark when I arrived but there are many people outside and it has a long line at the gate. The guard told me that the first line will just the people who has interview appointment at 6:30 am.

---- after 15 minutes,the guard called the people who scheduled for 7 am interview to fall in line. And I'm one of them.

---- at the gate,the guard will look your appointment letter and show them your valid i.d. we told to fall in line at Gate 2.

---- Gate 2, bags being checked.

----- follow the signs, after you enter Gate 2.

------ I went inside Immigrant Visa Section and told me to be sitted at the blue chairs. While sitting,there will be a person who will checked your forms. DS-156K (One copy), DS -157 (One copy with validation from the bank,and another copy you will get online,and DS-156 ( 2 copies).Make sure you answer everything,and check the forms correctly and your answers. Paste Visa picture at two sets of DS-156. the person who will checked your forms will staple it with your appointment letter.

------- the K1 applicants,waited like 30 minutes to be called and fall in line to get our ticket Number.

-----in getting a ticket number we had a line,,they will ask where is your passport,. and they will give you the Air 21 delivery form.

---- make sure to listen the names will be called,for finger scanning. when my name was called, I went to window 16 for finger scanning.

-----after finger scanning,they told me to go back to the blue chairs again and wait my ticket number that will flash on the screen for your pre-interview.

----- at pre-screener, I went to window 15,and the interviewer is a Filipina and they will asked you in Tagalog.

she asked me,

what is my name and my Fiance's name.

how did you meet him?

when is the last time you saw him?

how many visits he did?

what's his job.

where he lives.

is he deployed in Iraq?. (I answered, No ma'am.)

he asked more and all questions are very easy., if you know your Fiance very well,you will not have any problems in answering their questions.

she asked my Birth Certificate, Cenomar, NBI. and Affidavit of Support, ITR,W2. Employment letter.. Pictures, emails, letters .

she arranged all the papers and she gave me the other emails I gave to her because it's alot hehe.

I saw my passport and my medical papers from Saint Lukes,and the papers we sent to USCIS.

she asked about my previous application and what happened.

she asked if I have kids. I said no, I dont have.

then she organize the papers,and staple it.they are going to forward it for the consular interview.

she told me in tagalog,that my papers are ok,and just wait my number to be flashed again for the Consular Interview.

---- I waited for like 2 hours,(I forgot).hehe. I saw my number flashed at the screen for my consular Interview. I went to window 28.

---- I enter the room,I saw a guy who's in 30's I think. He said Good morning to me.

I sat and he said "hello How are you?"

I'm so lucky I went to window 28,the CO was very nice. He asked me what language if Tagalog or English. I answered 'Its up to you Sir".

then he replied,"English?" I answered "yes Sir."

haha,he start asking me questions but he used the Tagalog Language. hehe

*what is my name and my Fiance's name.

*How old I am and my Fiance.

*How we met and when.

*do you feel safe with him??

*how many times he visited me here.

*what are the dates of his trips to the Philippines.

*what is his Job.( I answered him and he said "wow,great job")

*where my Fiance lives.

*he asked how many brother's and sister's he have.

*is her sister lives at his parents?.(no ma'am.)

*does he have kids?

*and if he was married before.

then he checked the papers, and asked me about my previous application that was cancelled. I told him whats the real reason and just be honest.

He asked again the age of my Fiance and he said "I made a good choice!!Congratulations!!) hehe

then he type something on the computer and put a stamp on the papers. and told me that "Your Visa is now Approved, Welcome to the USA."

wait for your name to be called outside to get your pink slip. hehe.

I said Thank you Very much Sir. he answered," Walang Anuman Ana Marie" =)

---- I went to the blue chairs and I waited my name to be called,.

---- I heard my name to go to Window 38,. the guy asked my name and gave my the emails,pictures of me and my Fiance.and they gave me the Pink Slip. (Thank God I passed)

------paid the Air 21 delivery payment., I paid 215.00 pesos.,they gave me a receipt and my Pink Slip.

----- I went home to Internet Cafe' to share my good news to my loving baby. hehe.we're so happy!!

-----I went home and I got a txt message from Air 21 ,.

now I'll just wait here when my Visa will be delivered!!

I'm so relaxed now and so happy what I had today. Thanks so much for the people I talked online from Vj. to my Loving Baby.. and Thank you VJ!!
