April 2015 Filers

[KASH2011 382]

Hello helpful community of VJ. I'm so happy to tell you guys that my fiancee had her interview on 7/22/15 (philippine time) and she got approved. I would like to share the questions that they asked her during the interview for your future reference. I would also like to say thank you to everyone. Thank you for the words of encouragement. As we all know, being away w/ our love ones is hard but just think of the bright side, we're almost there. You made this process easier for everyone. Thank you everyone in VJ community!

Questions:

1. How did you guys meet?

2. When did your Fiance migrated to the US?

3. How long have you been together?

4. What does he do for a living and where does he live?

5. **Consul asked to see some photos

Those are the questions that my fiancee encountered. They didn't ask for the affidavit of support, recent pay stubs, certificate of employment, 1040.( but i would recommend for you guys to bring those just in case. Since every case is different.). She told me that her interview lasted for about less than 10 minutes. I hope all my April filers will be with their love ones soon. I wish everyone the best!! Good luck!

Once again, thank you so much VJ! <3

Congrats!

Well, got woken up 4 am with some tragic news. My fiance was on the way to BPI bank to pay the visa application and her jeepney was hijacked. She has a small wound but one of the passengers was shot and killed. I think it was a set up from the Xoom office where I wired her money. Since she also needed money for her K-2 plus medical she had $1000 on her. Even if she took a taxi they probably would have hijacked that too. I am thankful she was not seriously hurt. The worst part is they took her cell phone and IDs. Money can be wired easily but getting a new passport will take a month at least. That is the real tragedy...she will have to wait much longer for us to reunite again. She has gone through so many hardships the last few months with her ill mother and losing her baby that it is a wonder she has not given up. I think our love for each other is what's holding her together. I'm thankful for my VJ friends that support and help me through this difficult journey.

Thank you for the kind words. Like they say, love conquers all. The Philippines is a poor country and have high crime so I do not expect the hijackers to be caught or possessions to be recovered. One of the women refused to give up her necklace and ring and was shot dead.

This is indeed a terrible news! And I am so sorry to hear about what happened. I could imagine how you guys feel right now. Thankfully, your fiance is doing fine despite the wound she got.

I am also from the Philippines. If you don't mind me asking, where is your fiance right now? Luzon, Visayas or Mindanao?

She is from Cebu and lives near Lapu Lapu. Aileen is in the hospital now recovering from the wound and trauma. Luckily her sister had my phone number and was able to relay the news. Where are you from?

[Brian&Rosie 2]

I am from Mindanao but currently living in Manila.

I had been to Cebu for like 3 days only. It is a very nice place but there are really not so good people. I think in just about everywhere, not just in Cebu.

I hope for her speedy recovery. Were the other passengers able to report it to the police? They may have a way of tracking the criminals and there might be a chance that the documents will be returned..

It would be a miracle that anything is recovered. Normally hijackers hide their faces so they can't be identified. There might be a way to expedite a new passport considering the circumstances. She lives alone in her house with her son and her cell was the only way we could communicate so I hope she can go to a nearby internet cafe to tell me what's going on. It's late there now so it will have to wait until the morning there. Thanks for your concern Rosie.

I'm sorry to hear that. The good part is she is going to be ok, those other things can be replaced. I hope she gets out of the hospital soon and everything gets straightened out. I know you won't feel comfortable until she is with you.
