Its nice you can go there. I am sure you wife will appreciate your presence and support. I hope they let you join her. I cant understand why they would not allow you to attend. I have read where others have. Good luck and have a safe flight.

As I will not be at the Embassy Interview, I have ask my wife to write up a description of her interview experience. That might take her a little while. She will be leaving to Manila in about 8-10 hours and spending the night in a hotel there so that she can make the 0630 appointment. I am confident that this experience will seem anticlimactic resulting from the time it has taken us to get there. I think it will be more procedural than anything else as they know more about me than my family does. So we will give Caesar his do and pay proper respect to ensure we get our approval.

I would like to see a 100% approval rate for all November VJ interviews we have listed. Keep the faith and know that we have done our preparations thanks to the information of those who have gone before us.

Till Then :thumbs::star::whistle:

Thanks TomD for the charge,I wish u good-luck in ur wife's interview.

Hi all!!

I just want to repeat my last post. I got approved on Thursday 28th. My interview was really quick (about 3 min). And the only evidence requested was my daughter's report of birth abroad. We already booked a flight for Nov 18th. Thanks again for all the advice received during my NVC journey and for your wishes. I'll try to keep in touch.

For those who have interview this month, my best wishes!! :thumbs:

well the wife just had her interview yesterday. everything worked out great there. They had no problems with the paperwork and didn't ask any off ball questions.

However today she gets an email stating that her visa will require administrative processing. She called the embassy and they stated they could not give her any information or estimate on when the administrative processing would be complete.

#### THE STATE DEPARTMENT

This is exactly what's wrong with the government.

GET OUT OF HERE!!! WEll Congratulation anyway!!! :dance::dance: Your right about whats wrong with the Government. I guess its propriatory information for only those who need to know excluding the ones who it impacts the most. Good God!!! What a joke. I would think they would have a better response than than after all that they have already put us through. I bet its because they dont know either and just need more time to waste because someone is on Vacation...

People just remember things like this and vote for smaller government whenever you have the chance...

I just wish they would tell me the reason for AP. I thought AP was for additional security checks? My wife has a clean police record. She's a German from farm town next to an air force base!!. #######?!?

I think Administrative Processing is a catch all phrase that is used to CYOA when they dont have a better explanation for we are running behind or something to that effect. They never want to admit their short comings. You know shes clean so I wouldn't worry about it. Regardless this shouldn't happen at this stage. BS for sure.

@ OBX in reality she will be at the embassy in about 2 hours from now. Wish I could be the fly on the wall. Just wonder how she is preforming under pressure...haha... :hehe:

Thanks Sunny29,

My wife has been at the Embassy for about 4 hours now so I am hoping that she will be done soon and I will hear from her once she gets out of the embassy. I hope she doesn't think I am sleeping and waits to call me tomorrow morning..haha :bonk: Who can sleep... :blush::blink: I feel like I have been drinking lots of strong coffee! :lol: I kept telling her to relax and stay calm and here I am nail biting...haha :bonk::bonk:
