I DID NOT GET THE PINK

[mrs.B. 0]

I did not get the pink... but I got the RED stub for visa pick-up!

My interview was a breeze! I was at the embassy at around 7:30am for my 8:30am appointment. The guard just looked at my appointment letter and did not ask for any IDs. First step was submitting my appointment letter at the small booth upon entering the IV section, and was given a number. Did not ask for my DS230 and picture. 15 minutes later, my name was called for finger scanning.

Waited for another 15 minutes for pre-screening. The Filipina lady was also nice, after signing the DS230, she asked me a few basic questions like:

- Who is your petitioner/name

- When did you meet and where

- Do you have children/does your husband have children

- Is this your first marriage/is this your husband's first marriage

- Evidence of continuous communication (I showed her our magic jack call logs, and she said never mind, just keep them)

- Have you been abroad (then asked for my foreign police clearance)

- Asked for some photos ( gave her around 30, including wedding photos)

we even had a small chat about getting pregnant and miscarriage (I had one a few months back )...then she said good luck (both in the interview and in ttc).

Waited again for my number to flash on the que board. After 30 mins, I was face to face with the CO. Greeted him. I felt really at ease. He was never intimidating at all. After taking the oath, the questions he asked were:

- My date of birth

- Have I been abroad, and what I liked about that country

- How did my husband and I meet

then he browsed at our pictures and commented a few (complimented our beach wedding ) and asked where my husband is currently stationed at (he is in the Air Force). After that, he said the magic words "CONGRATULATIONS, YOUR VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED!". I could never be happier! Then I asked him if I can pick up my visa. He asked me when am I planning to leave, I said I have a reservation on the 16th. He said ok, that can be done. So I thanked him again and left the room. It lasted barely 5 minutes!

Finally, after another 10 mins, my name was called at window 18, the lady handed me back my photographs, and gave me a RED stub for visa pick up. I hope to hear from them tomorrow. I left the embassy joyous!

Thanks! The stub is not actually, RED, it's more like RED-VIOLET. (this is the only forum i know where colors really matter )
