Hi guys I just want to share my unforgettable experienced yesterday during my interview. =) :dancing:

My schedule interview was at 6:15 am so we arrived at the embassy at 5:30 am and I was surprised to see a lot of applicants already in a long line. There are many lines outside so be sure to ask where is your proper line, I did ask a lady where is the line of the 6:15 a.m immigrant applicants and then she showed it to me and to my surprised it was one of the longest line. At 6 a.m the guard let us comes in first (all the immigrant visa line) they told us to prepare our P4 (Interview Letter) only the first page and the passport. Then they gave me a number and a form ( 2Go Shipping Form) Next stop is to put all my stuff to a scanner for an inspection and then I went to a Window 1 and a Filipino guy gave me a small zip-lock plastic and he told me to go to the Door 2.

As I was inside the door 2 there's an another inspection of my things and then after that the Filipina lady told me to find a seat and wait for my number to flash on the screen. So this is the start of the long waiting LoL. You have to keep an eye always on the screen with red numbers flashing on it though I found it quite tiring hehe. We were inside the embassy at 6:20 am and my number finally showed up at 8:30 am (after almost 2 hours) I went to window 42 and it was an American guy and he looks nice. He asked me my complete name and birthday and then told me to put my 4 left fingers on the scanner then my 4 right fingers then my left and right thumb together. After that he told me to wipe the scanner with the tissue beside it then told me that I can go back to my seat and wait for my number to be called again. Before I went back to my seat I immediately went to the Ladies Room cause I've been holding my pee for almost 2 hours LoL. Then I went back to seat and waited again, as I've been waiting I was talking to some applicants to know their experienced and killed the boredom too hehe. After an hour (9:30 a.m now) my number flashed again and I went to Window 48 and it was a Filipina lady who was strict and not so friendly. She asked me many things like how did we meet, what is the work of my husband, what is the work of our joint sponsor, how is he related to us, when did we get married, how many times did he visited me, how many times we talk everyday, how he is supporting me, then she also asked for our pictures together, she also ask me if i am working ans I told her I am already resigned last March 2014 and then she asked me what is my work then I told her I am a Teacher. Then she told me that's all and I can go back to my seat and wait for my final interview of the US consul. The Filipina staff there told us to move to the next row of chairs if we are just waiting for our final interview. So we move to the next row and finally I saw some of the American CO's. I could say that some of them looks strict though. As I was waiting for my number to flash I keep on praying that the CO that would be assign to me is kind. At around 10:20 a.m my number finally flashed! So I went to Window 59 and to my surprised the consul is an Asian! He smiled at me and greeted me Hi Ma'am. How are you today? I am not sure if he is a Korean or Chinese, but he was really so nice. Then he told me to raise my right hand and read the oath posted at right side of the window. After reading it he told me I did read it great LoL. Then he started asking me these questions:

1. When did you get married?

2. What is his work?

3. How is your husband related to the joint sponsor?

4. Did you already travel to the other country?

5. Are you excited to go to California? (With a smile on his face)

Then he told me that's all and I can go back to my seat and wait for my number to be called.I said thank you with a big smile on my face. At around 10;40 a.m my number was called to Window 71 and the Filipino guy told me to drop my form at 2GO Courier at Window 69! After dropping it the lady at the 2GO told me that I can finally go home. I was back at the hotel at 11 a.m skyping with my love. Wow what a wonderful experienced! Among the many documents we prepared, they didn't even ask for it (only some pictures by the Filipina lady though) My advice is just to prepare everything! Better to be ready than not.

Thank God for everything and for His goodness and faithfulness! To GOD be all the glory!! God bless everyone.
