To all Vj members,

I apologize to all of you my vj friends for the LATE posting/sharing my interview here. I hope you understand me guys :innocent: but i know you all understand :lol:

As I’m done with my interview last Dec 15, 2010, I want to share my unforgettable experiences.

4:00am arrived at USEMBASSY manila

5:30am the guard informed us (all immigrants that scheduled 6:30am) to get inside

the guard took my 1st appointment letter (emailed by NVC) together with my new appointment sched which I did online

Then I waited 15 mins to get inside..we lined up inside the immigrant section. The lady asked me if I have ds230 printed then I said yes then she took it and give me my number. (6016) unforgettable # hehehe

As my number appeared on flashboard I go to window 22…

Pre-screener (she is Filipina) she is so nice. I felt comfortable talking to her. She asked me the following:

  • Who is your petitioner?
  • How old are you?
  • What is the name of your petitioner?
  • How old is He?
  • Is this your first to be married? How about Him?
  • Do you have any kids? How about Him?
  • Do you have any photos together?
  • Do you have a copy of your Certificate of marriage?

She is so nice. She said her good luck for my final interview.

I waited 10 mins for my name to be called to fall in line in finger scanning in window 15. The lady asked me to state my fullname and my date of birth. After that the lady that assisting us (doing the finger scanning) told me to go to waiting area for final interview.

After 15 mins my number flash on to window 44. She is American, I think her age is 26-30 yo. She let me raise my right hand and swore that all i will be stating is true. There are the questions that she asked me:

  • Who is you Petitioner? His name? His age?
  • What is your name? Your age?
  • When did you get married
  • Are you living alone? (in this question she asked me took me for another interview) which took me almost 4 hours (coz there are some questions concerning my nephews.

She told me to wait outside for my name to be called. I was so worried coz I’m expecting the magic coming from her “visa approved” I didn’t heard those words. But I thank her instead.

My name was called at window 33 (If im not mistaken) the guy told me that I need to have another follow-up interview. So i went to the office that the guy instructed me to go. There are lots of offices inside in the corridor I saw the lady approached me asking my name. And she let me go inside her office..she gave me 2 pages of questionnaires (back to back) all my hubby’s infos and mine too. It focuses on my information about me, my parents, my sisters, brothers, nephews etc.

The lady forwarded me to a guy in the next door. He asked some questions about my nephews which I answered and defended. At around 2:30 he forwarded to American Consul (guy) for interview. He let me swore that the statements that I made is true and correct. Then he told okey “tapos na tayo” (We’re done). Then the guy that facilitated me took me to exit door. While we’re on the corridor I asked him if hows my interview and he told me its okey I’m sure you’ll do fine and I think your visa will approve soon just wait for the a call from embassy to informed you. I was not happy enough I left the embassy not sure of the status of my visa. Finally my day is done at 3:30pm. As I went home I told to my husband about what happen in the whole day of my interview day. The following Monday, Dec 20, 2010. My husband called up usembassy manila to know the status of my visa. As I saw him (in webcam) smiling while talking to live operator. Then after he put down the phone, he said its approved! Thanks God!!! The operator told him that my visa is just printed as of today, December 20, 2010 and need to wait for 7 to 10 days to be delivered. Yehey!!!! :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:We’re finally done with our visa journey. :dance::dance::dance:

I’m so thankful to vj site as well as vj members. Thank you so much guys. You’re all part of our journey. God bless you all!!!:D:D:D:whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle:

That was a really great description of your day, I am so happy it was approved and thank you for sharing!! Good Luck!

The consul saw on our chat logs about concerning my nephews who used to live or took their vacation with me. it says "I let my nephews taste vodka". which is im not that one did that but their mom. Thats was i defended and explained my side as their Aunt. sometimes you cannot undo what you;ve already type.

Why you would send chat logs showing that,? hahahaha
