I just want to give a shout out first to God for his blessings and next to all the helpful people on this website. I just got off the phone with the Manila Embassy. My fiance's visa was approved.

Congratz !!! :star:

What lessons did you learn?

My fiance went to the interview knowing she needed a copy of my divorce decree. I had been divorced twice, once after a short term marriage when I was very young. When I filed the applicatioin, I listed the marriage but only sent a ordinary copy of the second decree. I had to respond to an RFA and send copies showing court stamp of both decrees.

But the worst part was not giveing fiance a copy of first decree for the interview. Being so long ago and so short I did not really want to talk about it. She was asked about it at the interview and did not know about my first marriage. I thought I had sent her copy of the petition showing it but I guess I didn't. She was emarrased and hurt because she did not know of the first marriage. I explained to her that it was so long ago, I didn't want to talk about it and, thank God, she got over it and forgave me. However, she had to send a copy of the first decree to the embassy before they would release the visa. I had already sent a certified copy with the RFA and did not think it was needed. Oh well, Thank you God for forgiving our sins and making all new in Christ Jesus.

Yup...that's a good lesson...thanks for sharing it.

Keep in mind that she most likely will be required to submit copies of both documents at her CFO seminar.

Ya man, these girls want to know everything about our pasts. My wife is pretty good about sniffing up sh!t from my past. I have to stay on top of it.
