Thank you everyone! It was approved!! Now waiting for passport pick up at SM MOA!! Wish everything will be okay and hoping that passport is ready for pick up this week!! Although I am quite worried as they didn't ask for my DS-230!! Weird!!

You've all been great and helpful! Special mention to Hank thanks for the unlimited patience answering all the inquiries!! HAHA!!

To all applicants who's interview is in the future, Good luck and pray! Always works and just be confident and truthful in answering all questions. good.gif

Thank you! But you know this is kind of weird, they didn't ask for my DS-230!! But just in case fill them out both (Part I and II) no0pb.gifONLY PART 1 IS REQUIRED Because I've read some COs are asking for the Part II that's why I filled out mine.

I took screenshots and pasted it to MS Word! :-D

Thank you Memphis!! Got mine mine from Merriam Bookstore HAHA

Thank you!! It's your turn!! Good luck and eat heavy meal!

Thank you!! They didn't notice the year on my Birth cert. looks like it's readable for them YAY! I sure do hope Visa is on its way!

Thanks cjmc! The greeters were all scary from saying 'if one blank is left unanswered you will be asked to reschedule your appointment' that's painful!!

Thank you!! Weird but they didn't ask for it!! So many weirdness HAHA

Excerpt from the Instructions Letter:

e. DS-230 (PART I) APPLICATION FOR IMMIGRANT VISA AND ALIEN REGISTRATION. Each applicant must submit one (1) completed copy of this form (Part II is not required). Download form at http://travel.state.gov/visa/forms/forms_1342.html.

Okay, I didn't go to work Thursday and Friday just to finish everything for my interview tomorrow! YAY! After gathering all documents, I was able to finish it yesterday and cleaned my room as well so I will have this refreshing feeling lol.

Here are the documents I prepared:

  • DS-156 (2 copies)
  • DS-157 (2 copies)
  • DS-156K (1 copy)
  • DS-230 (1 copy) - I filled out Part II as just in case
  • Original copy NSO Birth certificate
  • Original NBI Clearance for Travel US
  • Evidence of Genuine Love (emails and chat for the past 2 years)

  • Original CENOMAR
  • Form I-134 together with supporting documents (W-2, Form 1040, Employment certificate, Bank statements, Pay slips for the last 3 months)
  • Deposit confirmation (got it thru email)
  • Appointment letter
  • Passport
  • Extra copy of DS-230 (as some part I am not sure if I filled out correctly LOL

I also bought these just in case:

  • Copy of passport Bio page only
  • Copy of his passport Bio page only
  • Copy of NBI Clearance
  • Copy of birth certificate from the municipal (as the year I was born is not readable from NSO copy kind of nervous with this one)

Hi what is the deposit confirmation?

They paid the visa fee online so their confirmation of payment was sent to them in an email.

For those paying at BPI you bring in the deposit receipt that you printed out from the embassy website to BPI and you bring the receipt they return to you after payment with you to the interview.

If you paid via over the counter bank, it's the receipt that the teller that will give you. It's just a small piece of paper.

While if you paid online like me, you'll just get an email confirmation that you paid for the visa.

Those are the two possible ways to pay your visa fee and to Get a deposit confirmation ;-)

And it's needed because it a proof that you paid for the visa fee
