Approved!

The consulate is like a fortress. They went through everything we brought, threw out any food, gum, etc. However in general they were very nice. It took fairly long, though. We were in there by 7:00 AM and out by 11:30 AM

Thank you! It is a huge relief. I'm just happy this part is over.

I had my fiance on skype when I called the Dos hotline to find out our status, so he could hear everything.

When I told him what the lady said after the phone call. You should have seen the look on his face, just pure joy. That was the best feeling in the world.

I am hoping you two get your approval right away when your fiance goes in for his interview.

The crazy thing is, they didn't even take all of our supporting documents for the affidavit of support. They took very little. He tried to give them everything, but they told him it was fine and they didn't need it. They were more worried about if our relationship was real.

what a relief! congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy::joy:

Congratulations! I'm so happy you got approved!

I am very very upset right now with the Philippine Embassy. My fiance failed her interview only because there were not enough printed letters between us. We started out emailing when we first met but then mostly used text messages after that. How can they say just based on that that we are not serious enough in love to get married? Now I have to pay another $1000 (her and her son) for another application plus medical exams again, plus trips to Manila again. Do you think her CO, a woman, may have had her own agenda? She also said I didn't have proof of my stay there with copies of my exit and entry stamps. I gave all that to NVC so why was it not given to the CO? Lots of questions. I am beside myself with anger. And to make matters worse the very day she gets rejected she finds out her mother passed away. A very very bad day.
