AbbynSheryl, we have the interview on the same day..... :D:dance: !!!!!!!

Today I finished arranging my photos in a big album for the embassy .

I got sooo manyy photos with our family in these 4 years....thousands of pics ..I "only" selected and printed 400 and I kind of shuffled them ...I didn't arranged them chronologically...in this way the consular will get a more rapid glimpse of our 4 year marriage life .

What other evidence do you bring at the embassy?

I have my husband's passport with all the stamps when he entered and leaved my country ...so that I can show how many times he visited us...He came 9 times in Romania.

I will also write down the dates from the passport and make a timeline with arrivals and departures and how long he stayed here.

I don't have any phone bills :( , even though we spoke daily on the phone , but my husband forgot to bring the bills from USA and I only used prepaid mobile calling cards.

But I have some emails , some messenger conversations...some cards that my parent's in law sent to me and our children ...and I also have some pics of our PC 's desktops when we were talking on skype and mess...

We have 2 children together...we 've been married for almost 4 years.

I also have 40 international wire transfer forms of the money he sent to us from USA.

He will also be with me and children at the interview.

I hope everything will be ok at the interview.

Looks like you did your homework right! Way to go! Good preparation :thumbs:

Hello guys August is just around the corner now. :yes: I know most of you are already done with the medical exams, CFO stamps and so forth. I know you guys are all excited that our Journey is almost done. It's been along journey for us and the hardest part is being away from our love ones. But we all know that's just a temporary separation. Soon we will be united with our love ones for good. I am very excited myself, :dance: i will be leaving for the Philippines in two weeks to be with my wife for her interview which is set on the 13th of August.. Good luck and God Bless to everyone and lets go get those PINK SLIPS :star:

Good luck

83 hours and 22 minutes until our interview!!! It's so difficult knowing I can't be there :cry: I was supposed to be leaving tomorrow morning, but finances have made it impossible. So it is all in the hands of God and the head of my husband :). OMG that man knows more about me then I do!!! I had to look up answers that he has to know off the top of his head!! Granted I had a brain injury 13 years ago so I have an excuse... ok it's a sucky excuse but I use it well :)

Anyways, I sent my husband two 6 sectioned folders. The Green one has copies of everything that I sent to USCIS & NVC and all their responses back - NOA's emails, paid receipts, etc. The Blue one has copies of 1 year of cell phone records, 1 year of Skype records, 1.5 years of email logs with about 40 pages (front & back) of selected emails (would have included more but ran outta ink), life insurance policy listing him as beneficiary, copies of my boarding passes and all receipts from my 2 visits and about 50 pictures.

I also sent an email two weeks ago to the embassy asking for conformation of the interview and asking what information other than the medical reports they would need from us when we come to the interview (I kinda made it sound like I was going to attend, was still hoping at that time I would receive a financial miracle), they responded and confirmed the interview date and time. Then last week I emailed again letting them know that I wasn't going to be able to come to the interview but that I would be MORE than willing to make an international call during the interview so I could talk with the CO. They sent an email back saying they printed the email and included it in my file. So I responded asking for the phone number so I could call shortly after the interview started. This morning I received an email to not worry, that if they needed to talk with me they would make arrangements. So I sent final email telling them thank you and let them know I would be available at my home phone number if there were any questions. I don't know if any of these emails will have ANY effect but my thought is that the more contact I have with the embassy there the better.

I'm still a flippin' nervous wreck!!!

OK now 83 hours and 12 minutes!!!

Hey guys! Despite of the hard rain i am so glad to be home with my wife and kids. :dance: I arrived at 340am Manila time, but can you believe that most of us didn't get our luggage almost an hour and a half. :angry: Really bad management if you ask me. I was not the only one that was getting frustrated. :crying: Good thing my wife paged me and met her just outside the gate terminal and from frustrating moment went away :) . Seeing my beautiful wife after 6 months made me so happy and how lucky i am to be married to her. :) ..Wish everyone a good luck on their interview. Ours will be next week..

Interview is over and the result..... I don't know.

No pink, but no blue either. Didn't take his passport, but did return original marriage certificate.

What does this mean? Does it mean that we are on AP? What do I do now? I sent an email to the consulate, they have been really good about returning my emails within 24 hours.

More waiting....................

More detail....

He was asked:

My name: Correct

My employer: Correct

When we met: Correct

Where I worked when me met: Incorrect

Can I see wedding pics: Looked at them and gave them back.

The issue was I worked for Company A from Jan 2002-April 2007 and then I started working with them again in December 2008 and still work for them. He messed up the date and thought I worked there until April 2008 so it would mean that I was working for them when we met.

The man (who didn't give his name) told SO he had paperwork to complete and then he would call him. SO asked if he should sit and wait and the man said, "No you are free to leave."

SO said the man was not friendly at all and asked questions very fast. When SO answered incorrectly, he said, "At the same place?" and SO said, "Yes she worked there and was terminated when she was visiting and we got married." I worked at Company B and was terminated from that company when I was visiting, I started working for Company A a few weeks after I returned home.
