My visa got approved today! I can't wait to be in my husband's arms again. My interview went very smooth.

Congrats!!!!! Did they ask for paperwork at all????

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!

In US Embassy Manila they request divorced paper, Marriage cert and financial papers but to me the consul did not ask anything and he did not even look to our pictures.

I'm done with my interview @ US Embassy Manila... and got the famous PINK which means... APPROVED

Thanks to all VJ'ers for guiding me on this journey... BIG, BIG THANKS TO ALL OF YOU...

Here's my interview experience...

Got December 08, 2009 interview (6:30AM)

Left in the house: 4:30AM

Arrived at US Embassy Manila: 6:40AM (a little bit late coz of car accident along South Luzon Expressway) :no:

First, i presented my appointment letter and my ID to one of the guards at Immigrant / US Citizen Lane, then the guard told me to proceed to Gate 2 (NO electronic devices allowed and any liquid stuff). Upon entering Gate 2, they asked me to put my bag on the xray machine for bag screening then after that I followed the BLUE ARROW then the guard looked for my appointment letter again and fall in line to get my priority number, then my number flashed on the screen after 5mins. for pre-screening.

PRE-SCREENER QUESTIONS:

1) What is your name?

2) Who is your petitioner?

3) How did u meet?

4) When was the last time you saw him?

5) Proofs (Photos, Emails, Chat Logs, Remittances)

6) When did u get married?

7) Do you have previous marriage before this marriage?

8) How about your husband? Do he have previous marriage before this marriage?

After the pre-screening i was told to proceed to finger scanning, then after about 15mins. my number was flashed again on the screen for final interview. As I've entered the room I saw a tall white american ( i don't feel any nervous upon seeing him... hehehe... he's nice and in good mood).

FINAL INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:

1) What is your name?

2) Who is your petitioner?

3) Raise your right hand and swear...

4) How and where did u meet?

5) When did u get married?

6) Do you have previous marriage before this marriage?

7) How about your husband? Do he have previous marriage before this marriage?

8) Do you or your husband have children?

9) How young are you and your husband?

10) What does he do for living?

11) Where is your husband's present address?

VISA APPROVED...

CONSUL: wait for your number outside for instruction about releasing your visa.

ME: Thank you and have a nice day sir!

After just 1min. my number was flashed again on the screen and got the famous pink slip and proceed to Air21 booth to pay for my visa delivery.

Left in US Embassy Manila: 8:30AM (that was really fast...)

That's it, as simple as that. The consul will just ask you and your husband's personal information...

ok... hope it will help you somehow on your upcoming interview... GOODLUCK...

GOD is good all the time... I am so blessed... Thank GOD...
