My fiancee had her interview this morning starting at 7:30am.. She skyped me at 12:15pm her time. This is how it went and of course at the end confusing...

First window finger prints

Second call to different window a Filipino reviewed my tax forms, check stubs, affidavit of support and employment letter.

Third window an American reviewed the same as second window and asked her 1) How did we meet 2) Do I work. What I do for work. 3) When was last time I was in Philippines.. That was it. Wait for your number.

Fourth window. Verified her full name and address and said. "Okay maam you can go home now" And that was it.. I take it she is approved as she did not get her passport back etc. Maybe they changed and need to review more or maybe it is just the person handling that end. She said there was a long line and they were moving them through quickly.

Soooooo. Anyone have any thoughts? Is there a website we can go on to check the status or verify the decision??

For those that are not yet at interview stage.. Tell your fiancee to be a bit more pushy and ask if she/he was approved.. Now more waiting.

Good luck to all...

Hi Big Bear...same thing happened to my fiance on Jan 22nd. At the end they just told her to go home and wait on an email. Use the link provided here by Michael Moneth, that is where I went to find out if she was approved. All you will need is your MNL#

When I checked there is said they had "issued" her the visa. That made us feel relieved.

Happy to say I picked up my fiance at the airport last saturday and she is here with me now.

Good Luck !!

My fiancee's address is in Bohol. How many days did it take for your visa to arrive? I see flights I have been eyeing up for a month that are reasonable and I want her here with me March 1 is my goal. I am so tired of skyping , YM etc that I told her it will be a cold day in South Florida ( ) before I skype regularly again. Then she reminded me of my weekly skypes with my grand daughter. Okay one exception lol. Thanks for your feedback.. I am so relieved and happy.

Congratulations

[Larry n Mary 2]

That is exactly what ours said..congrats....I was able to find a cheap flight on just 1 day notice. we used a travel agency in Cebu,here is the email address: worlddreamlandbangkal@yahoo.com the agent was Keken Yogot, she did a great job for us. But you should not actually purchase the ticket until she has her visa in hand and the CFO seminar taken.

My fiance recieved her Visa 7 days after the interview (5 buissness days).

Good luck and hang in there, your almost there.

She was definitely 'APPROVED' based on my experience some of my friends whom i met during the interview the CO told them you can go home now!! Cause they asked me what the CO told me he said " Congratulations you're Approve! it means CO has different ways of saying WELCOME TO THE USA !

CONGRATULATIONS TO BOTH OF YOU !!

:thumbs:Hoping for the best.
