My interview date was yesterday (thursday)April 18,2013.

I woke up very early (3:30am lol im so excited)

My appointment time is 7:30am..I'm from Paranaque City not too far from Manila Philippines Embassy of the United State of America (20-30 minutes away from my house)

i got there almost 6 am and the line was NOT too long for K1 visa (given same priority as Immigrant Visa.

At the pre-entrance,1 lady and 1 guy in blue polo shirt will look for your appointment letter,passport,2 copies of form ds-156,2 copies of form ds-156k and 1 copy of form ds-157..and if it is complete then they are going to put barcode sticker at the back of your passport then proceed to entrance and security check where your bag will be checked and body scan so MAKE SURE DON'T BRING ANY ELECTRONICS or else you are NOT ALLOWED TO ENTER :no: :no: :no: after security check proceed to the counter which gives the priority number (mine is 6144)

the lady will get the ds forms and appointment letter then check your passport and will return it with a plastic with ziplock.Proceed at the back of that counter and i was surprised (LOTS OF PEOPLE)sitting and waiting for their numbers to be called by the lady wearing blue polo shirt so I looked for available chair.

My bad i was sitting with tourist applicants I didn't know that K visas applicant are in last row and watching something :oops: i didn't saw any signage :bonk: (duh!! there's a signage but its very very small for you too see)FUNNY?yes its funny!i didn't know if my number flashed or what!

so i went there ..I was watching queuing board number for almost 1 hour!then i saw my number (6144 window 43)..Proceed to door number 2 (that's for immigrant and K visas applicants)inside you will have the second security check where your bag will be checked again and you will go through body scan again.

When i was inside i went to window 43 (first window inside of the building ) i smiled and said "good morning" to american guy.He asked for my name and birthdate and instructed me for digital finger scan then he told me to take a seat and wait for my number to be flashed again :thumbs: ..after 20 minutes I saw my number again (1644 window 53)The nice Filipino lady just asked for my birth Certificate,BPI receipt for visa fee,CENOMAR(Certificate of No Marriage),NBI Clearance but because my birth certificate was late registered she asked for my original Baptismal Certificate followed by my fiance's 2012 ITR,W2 and Affidavit of Support Form 134 and last but not the least my passport inside of the plastic with ziplock then she made her preliminary interview and these were her questions:

1. Name of my fiance

2. How did we meet and when was this

3. What is my age and What is my fiance's age

Then she told me to take a seat again and wait for my number on the monitor :thumbs: and after 15-20 minutes I saw it again (6144 window 67)

It was window 67 and she was a middle aged nice american with a curly hair

She first made me swear that i was telling the truth then "Good morning"

and she started his interview and her questions were..

1. Name of my fiance

2. How did we meet and When was this

3.How many sisters and brothers

4.Who is my fiance's best friend

followed by "ok CONGRATULATIONS AND APPROVED please take your sit and wait for your name to be called "

i want to shout but i just smiled and said "THANK YOU MAM" and she answered me "YOU'RE WELCOME"

:dance::dancing:

last window (2go)

Filipino guy in window 73 said "CONGRATS" all you have to do is wait for your visa so i smiled and said ''thank you''

:dance:

Goodluck to all..

WOHOOOOO!GOD IS GOOD!!! :dance:

May I ask if it's okay, after you received the packet that the US Embassy sent you did you pay for the K1 Visa and schedule your interview then went to your medical exam. Does it take longer to schedule your interview.

I just want to know the current process right now so that I can give my Fiancee a heads up.

Thanks.
