God bless me with a great gift today.. i am approved..

6:30 to 7am- we are on the first line for cheking our DS 156,156k and 157 forms + the passport

7am - we are waiting for our number to be flashed on the screen..

9am - my number flashed for finger print (i was asked to go back to my sit again)

while waiting for your number pls prepare your , birthcert, cenomar, nbi , pictures of you and your fiance , affidavit of support, income tax return and w2.

9:30 - filipino pre screener.. (she is very nice to me) she smiled and i felt very relaxed.. she asked me few questions

why you correct your name / whyyou change your last name ( i said because all my documents are in my mom's maiden last name so i decided to remove the last name which is my foreign dad's last name to my mom's maiden name so that all my documents will be on same name)

what is your petitioners name ( my fiance's name)

is he married to other woman before? (i said never been married ma'am)

are you married before? (never)

are you working? (no)

are you graduate? ( i said yes hrm graduate)

do you have pics of you and ur fiance( i give the clear book with tons of pics i think she felt lazy to browse it so she ask me to just open the book and show it to her)

do you have emails or chats ( i showed my oldest skype screen shot back in 2010)

how bout remittance? ( i answered "yes! ma'am" i was going to show my clear book again with tons of emails and receipts hotel vouchers etc but she said "its okay now, go back to your sit and good luck :)" she is really really nice...

i went back to my sit and wait for the last interviewer

10am- my number flashed (I'm on window 66)

american consul speaks tagalog and its so cute hehehe he says hello and i gave him a very cute smile too :") haha!

i was asked to pledge bla bla..

then question and answer begun .. this is it..i stayed calm and friendly..

what is your petitioners name

is he married

are you married?

do you have kids?

have ever travel abroad?

then he never look at my pictures or my fiances hotel etc. he just ask those questions and said " everything seems to be in order please go back to your sit and wait for window 72 to call you for the next step" i jumped into conclusion that i thought i am lacking some documents because of my corrected birthcertificate but the CO said "HAVE A NICE TRIP" i was like :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO do i have to ask him if i am approved or not but he already said have a nice trip , i return to my sit and wait for window 72 to find out, so when the guy in window 72 call my name he said that my visa will be deliver at home and i can go home now" i wanna cry but everybody is looking at me because i have the biggest smile at that moment hehehe.. I am so blessed God guide me all the way on this process,, thank you Lord for the wonderful plan you have for me.. my interview went veryyyyyyy smooth... ty vj and good luck to all :dance: :dance: :dance:

my Last name.. but even if your first or middle name was the one corrected..you still have to submit the same documents to avoid delays, or getting 221g.. nbi with AKA and 2 cenomars are the most important documents you need to have..
