Manila Embassy Interview Today

[robacjd 1]

Hello all. My fiancee had her interview this morning at the Manila embassy. She arrived there at 5AM. There were a lot of people already there when she got there. She rented a seat for 10 pesos so she wouldn't have to stand for a long time.

Around 6:30 they had the group for the 7:30 interviews to go to the main gate. Aftrer she entered the embassy, the Embassy worker took her forms and made sure everything was signed and in proper order. You MUST sign the DS-156K where it says not to sign at the bottom. You also must have your picture GLUED to the 2 DS-156 forms. DO NOT STAPLE THEM. Make sure all of the questions on all of the forms have information on them. Put N/A or None on lines with no information or lines that do not pertain to you.

She was called in for her 1st inteview by the Philippine interviewer (a woman) around 10Am. She was asked only a few questions, such as; How did you and your fiancee meet?, she mentioned about my, (the petitioner's 2 divorces), What I, the petitioner, did for a living, (I am retired), and asked her if she had met the petioners children, (which she hasn't yet.).

Around 11Am she was called in for the interview with the American interviewer, (a man). He asked her about my 1099 for 1996 social security, but then he saw the letter from Social security about my receiving a monthly deposit into my checking account every month and said it was okay. He asked where I was, and she told him I was back at the hotel so I would be able to check out if she wasn't back in time from her interview.

After the interview was over, she asked if she was approved and was told "yes". She also saw him put the pink slip into her file and saw where it said "K Visa Approved". She paid Delbros the fee and left. She was back at the hotel at 12 noon. She was very happy that she has been approved and that part of the processd was over.

That's interesting because in the case of the K-3 Visa the "sponsor" must be back in the States before the interview.

First, CONGRATULATIONS on your Visa approval! I see that you are retired... What supporting documents for your I-134 did you send to your fiancee for her interview? My fiancee is a retired trooper and we still have no idea what to provide... Thanks!

She won't do the CFO thing until she has her visa.

First of all, the petitioner had to send form I-134 (affidavit of support) with his petition. What info did he send with it? I am a retired firefighter on disability pension. I sent a copy of my disabilty report, a copy of what my pension is going to be up to the year 2035, copies of my bank statements showing the monthly fire pension being paid directly into my bank account every month, letter from Social security showing my monthly payment into my bank account, also, a copy of my 1099 from Social Security from 2005, (2006 hasn't been filed yet because I am still over in the Philippines). I didn't need to show my 2006 IRS return, because my fire pension is tax free, so The only income I need to report is the Social security and it isn't enough income to file, but I still file with the IRS every year because you never know when you will need to show it to some one.

If I can be of any further help, please let me know. Also, there is a large age diference between me and my Filipina fiancee, but we never had a problem at the interview about that.

Thanks! Yeah, I was kind of worried with our big age difference. I feel like my true intentions are going to be questioned because of it. Although I know that as long as we really love each other and we can prove that our relationship is genuine, there's nothing to be afraid of. It's good to know that you didn't have any problem with that. Congratulations again!
