DECEMBER INTERVIEWS

[den &ter 0]

This is my review good luck Angela and Wayne

I got to the embassy at 7 am, I asked to the person in charge of the lines, she asked me to show her the letter, I explained that I got my interview by phone, so she asked me the first page of the visa instruction with my case number and told me to wait, I waited for one hour and finally at 8 am I went in the usem.

inside I went to line #40 where a nice woman gave me a green folder to organize all the papers, I had to put the I 864 (take copies with you) and the DS 230 too. after that she told me to sit and wait. after 3 hours of waiting I was called to wondow #7 and a nice woman too asked me who was the petitioner, and organize all the papers and open the medical and the migratory certificate and put them back in a folder with some new forms in there (for the consul to fill) .

she told me to sit and wait for fingerprint taken, so after 2o mins they called me again and had my fingerprints taken, and 10 mins later I was called to window 1 where I paid 808.000 (404) cus it hasnt had paid before. then the cashier told me to wait for my interview.

it was a cold day, it rained cats and dogs, and as it was in the outside with a roof, but you could get wet easily cus it was rainig like crazy . my feet were frozen. I saw many k1s got denied and I was kind of nervous. and Finally, at 2. 20 pm the consul said my name in window 4, the conversations was in spanish, she spoke to me in English too, she apologize but i said I could understand since my hubby doesnt speak spanish completely. so she asked where we met and it was funny cus ten mins later she asked the same, she asked me about my exchange visa (J1) I gave her the DS 2019 ans explained her why I had 3 of those. then, she asked me to show her pics, there is one in which my husband is holding a guanabana so she laughed and I explained that he really loves that fruit cus it's not common in usa, she asked me where the pics were taken, how many times has he been to colombia (6 ) I gave her dates and everything, I explained why he couldnt have come thi time, she asked where he owrked so I talked a lot about his ex job and his actual one.

she typed something and I was freezing and nervous, but I was sure what I was saying cus it is true. and finally, she smiled at me and told me i could go to Domesa and pay i was like, can you pich me??? lol

In general it was very smooth but the winter was the worst thing today, In was in the USEM until 3 10 pm and I got there at 7am, my advise is get there on time not before. they let people in at 7.30 am anyways. goos luck to al those who read my review,

I am really happy for after all that waiting you have finally got through best wishes to you and your husband

Congrats! Was your case upgraded when you became USC? I called NVC when I saw your wife and kids have been scheduled, but they don't have anything for my husband yet.

In fact, most consulates must have started to assign interview dates for Dec by now.

Yeah, I feel like Philippines is extremely behind compared to other consulates in terms of scheduling interviews for December.
