Hello My Fellow VJ's....first of all, want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH guys for all the help/tips on this journey we have....this site is really so helpful and the good news is that...WE GOT APPROVED on our interview (October 4, 2010) at the USEm Manila....so much happy and so much Blessed there are alot of people here who helped us through this long journey...

Just want to share too what had happened on our interview:

INTERVIEW DATE: OCTOBER 4, 2010

TIME: 6:30AM

Was there on the big line around 6;00AM, theres a line for Immigrant/Non-immigrant..all you have to show them was your APPOINTMENT LETTER with a VALID ID before you enter to the other line going inside the USEmbassy. Its good my auntie was permitted to go with me inside the USEmbassy (since i have two kids for the interview)..inside the USEm, they will check ur things (be sure not to bring CELLPHONE, DIGICAM), its NOT ALLOWED...from there, fall in line again in the reception...on the glass its posted there, for Immigrant Applicant, ready the following: DS-230 Part I, Part II, 2x2 pictures, Appointment Letter (its good i got a copy of my DS-230 Part I/Part II)..but when it was my turn...they didnt ask for my DS-230 Part I/Part II and 2x2 pictures...ONLY they ask for me was my Appointment Letter and they gave me my NUMBER (that number will be your NUMBER until the interview will be over)...got my #6051, 6052, 6053...went to seat down and the waiting period started....was there inside the USembassy around 7:00AM and my # was called on the Pre-Screener around 10:20AM...almost 3 hours my kids was so bored waiting, lol...liquids (like water, sodas) not allowed to bring inside...but when ur inside the USEm, theres a small booth there where you can buy some bottled water, sodas, chips)...

For my Pre-Screener Interview, heres the questions they asked me/kids: *TAGALOG Conversation*

For my 2 kids: HOW OLD ARE THEY? (my kids are asked individually in Tagalog)

For ME:

* Who is petioning you? (My husband/Name)

* Is your husband half Filipino/half American?

* Where did you met? (when i said on a online dating site: filipinaheart.com (then follow up question was, how did he propose to marry you, when he was here in the Philippines?

* How many times he visited you in the Philippines (follow up question was: how many days?)

* When did you met him? when did you last met him? when did you get marry?

* What does your husband do for a living?

* Is your cellphone number (looking on my paper) still active?

* Are you still living here in this address? (looking again on my paper) - my address in the Philippines

* Is this your first time to apply in the U.S.? (My answer was NO, since i applied before as TOURIST, then follow up question was, WHERE YOU GIVEN A TOURIST VISA? (MY Answer again, was No, was not given ma'am)

* Did you go out outside the Country? (my answer was YES, follow-up question again, what countries? how many years you were there? what did you do there? are my questions)

* My full name was asked

* My Birthday

* and my last question was do you have pictures with you? I said YES ma'am, then she said okay, thank you..thats it then she said wait and your number will be called again..was not asked for other documents because we already submitted everything on the NVC Stage...The Pre-screener is so kind ☺

After 10 minutes...my name was called for the Fingerscanning...booth #33...(The lady there was kind to assist too, my kids are exempted for the fingerscanning...The Black Guy will ask you only your Full Name and Your Birthday)..then we were asked to seat down again for our Final Interview with the CO and wishes us Goodluck.

After 10 minutes...(not a very long wait on this)...our # flashes again for our FINAL INTERVIEW:

Before our interview, we raised our RIGHT HAND (To tell him we are telling ALL THE TRUTH)

FINAL INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:

* Who is petitioning you? (Husband/Name)

* Where did you met him?

* How old are my kids?

* Is my husband single?

* Is my husband living alone?

* What does he do for a living?

* What did you do in abroad?

* When did you met your husband? right after you filed your annulment? or before you met your husband?

* Whats your work in abroad? How many years? Can i have your PCC in abroad?

* What Countries you've been to?

THATS it...and the CO is looking into our papers and his system..and he said CONGRATULATIONS! Your VISA is APPROVED!...

Thank you for reading...I hope this helps...

GOD BLESS us all and to all those waiting and going to have there interview...GOODLUCK...GOD SPEED☺☺♥♥

Once again, THANK YOU FELLOW VJ's without you guys my journey will not be as easy as this...

Hi ma'am, first of all congrats and have a safe trip soon!

Just want to clarify about PCC from other countries, since original was been forwarded during NVC stage, i have here a photocopy, do they ask for original during interview?in your case what did you showed to CO? thanks in advance.

Thank you so much guys....God Bless us all...☺♥

Congrats to you. If I may ask, did they tell you how soon you would receive your visa? My wife is staying in a Condo temporarily that we are renting. I keep hearing 2weeks Air21. But I've seen where people are getting it the next day. I'm hoping since she will be there a week after her interview, she can get it while she is there.

I hate to say but....you can't go on what they will tell you.

It could be a couple days...or it could be a couple weeks depending on how quickly USEM will finalize the paperwork.

The best thing to do after you have been given the pink slip will be to give your is to give your shipping info to Air21 with your MNL case number then keep accessing the Air21 tracking website here:
