After 2 cancelled schedules due to unforeseen events, Finally got our interview today and we are APPROVED. Thank you VJ Family for helping us all through out this K1 Journey (mentally and emotionally). I know that it is just the beginning and there are still lots of things to deal with but we are not going to make this far without each and everyone of you who helped along the way.

Thank you God. Thank you for all the Blessings.

Congrats to both of you! heart.gif

I have a question which is just a little off topic though. I noticed that you already have a POE. Did you include this on your DS 157 (Question #18)? Did you answer YES to having special travel arrangements prior to getting your visa?

Is it really safe to say YES? or this poses some red flag? as we are really thinking of booking our flights in advance.

Many of the K-1 are just showing up and getting in line right now. You need to pop over to the Philippine forum and ask those that have just completed this.
