K-1 Visa Approved in Manila

[ScottMelanie 4]

My fiancee's application for a K-1 visa was approved yesterday, and we are overjoyed! So grateful.

It took us over 9 months because she had a small scar on one lung and they had to do a two month sputum test. After she passed that two month test, she was medically cleared, but the interview schedule was booked up. Anyway, her experience at the embassy was very nice. She was very well organized and had loads of evidence of our relationship. In fact, she was disappointed when they didn't want to look at all of it. They were interested in my 2011 ITR, W-2s, and the remittance receipts. The Filipina interviewer asked if she had pictures, and when Mel plopped a large album down, the lady said "thank you", and didn't ask for more. The Filipina interviewer asked Mel if she had met me, and Mel said, "Of course! I wouldn't go to America without meeting him first!"

The American Consul came next, and he was very formal, but pleasant. He asked her when we met,how I proposed to her, what she likes about me, what I do for a living and what she does for a living. That was about it. He said, "Thank you and good luck. You will be called to the next window." Her heart sunk. She thought that she was not approved and she was feeling like a failure. In a few minutes, she was called to another window and told that her visa would be sent to her in a few days. She asked, "Was my visa application approved?". The man said, 'Yes, congratulations".

Many in the VJ community helped and encouraged us. It has been challenging at times. Some people breeze through, some encounter some challenges, even if they are prepared. Although it took over 9 months, we were well prepared at every step thanks to VJ and its community. Bless you all.

Mel will be joining me soon in Hawaii. I am very lucky.
