I wasn't there for an interview. I was there trying to inquire on a previous K-3 application. I am american by the way. I felt like i wanted to stab a stake through my eyes as they continue to play the Armed forces Network on their TVs or even CNN, you only can take so much. Can't they play some cartoons to lighten the mood?

Hahahaha cartoon sounds fun! I know, or, perhaps, NCIS or Law and Order. It would be a big treat for me, as I love those kinds of police and investigation type of TV flicks!

You will feel like its never going to happen. You watch others as they get called & then their reaction to what happened. You fear the evil officer you heard about. You think " I should be next". You arent. Finally they call you. You think " Oh no, I am not ready".

Ten minutes at the window. Then rushing to get your cell phone back & run outside. Stabbing the numbers to call the USC to tell them its over. You feel like there is one more thing you forgot to do. There is. Get to the airport!

Then begin the next list of things you have to do. But this time you will have a partner to help you along. This is the real beginning.

Ning, if there is anything as "exact" thing a person wanna hear or read, this is it! Thanks, you definitely sketched the anxiety, excitement and nerves that I had and would feel, till I get to my very turn. Thanks heaps, it's always a treat to bump into your "great wisdom". :)I would call you, the VJ Guru!

I am no Guru thats for sure. There are many here on V J that offer good advise. But thanks.

I am just very sure you will go thru this interview in fine shape. I know what happened in mine & a few others from personel knowledge. My case took 408 days so we had plenty of time to create & learn to deal with all of the anxiety ect connected to this process.

My husband described it as a Hitchcock movie scene. He said we would never see the killer coming but would fear the unknown as though we were in the shower. I still havent seen this movie.

Can you actually get there while waiting for your number to be called? just curious!

I was nervous . Try having conversation with someone there for same visa , surely calmed me down a little

I will keep that in mind. How long did your interview take?

It's located in the outdoor waiting area/info desk/post office which is just outside the place where you wait for the interview. You could easily pop out and grab something.

The bathrooms are extra clean... I took about 30 minuets admiring them.

If you have ever been to the Philippine Immigration... think the total opposite and that is the US Embassy
