Thank you guys for all your help! I was a bit worried at first cos I thought I had DS-160 but then I didn't. Fortunately, the only thing they looked for was the DS-156, DS-156K and DS-157. Plus I had a minor setback cos of one correction in a form I filled. But overall everything went fine. Was at the embassy for almost 6 hours including waiting time. But the consul had very few questions and in less than 5 minutes, my visa was approved! Thank God!:innocent:

Now all I need is to look for an affordable one way ticket to Seattle. Can anyone help me with that? I'm hoping to leave by June 12. B-)

Again, thank you and good luck to everyone else!!! :thumbs:

Congratulations, ceziepie! That's great news! :thumbs:

Expedia has some great deals on flights. Manila-Seattle one way is $988, tax and fees included. Wow, it's almost as expensive as roundtrip ticket.

Thank you Tahoma & Markyboi! :whistle:

Do you guys have an idea if a K1 visa is eligible for 1st time immigrant discounted fares? Some people suggested this site: http://www.santraphael.com/home.php

The tickets are definitely cheaper than most sites I've visited.

against all that we must face in this world. ❤
