:dance: :dance: I got the Visa~~ la la la la~~ :dance: :dance:

Well,...actually not yet cuz I will still have to go back to the embassy to grab the visa. They said it will take about 2-3 days

The interview at the American Embassy in Jakarta was not as hard as I thought.

The Interviewer, a Chinese-American woman, started with easy questions like how we met and when.

Then she asked lots of things about Joel : where he lives, where he was born & when, what he does in the Navy, where is his base located now, how long he's been in the Navy and when will his current enlistment end and if he's planning on re-enlisting, hmm.... what else, oh ya, whether he has brothers/sisters (she went like....man, he's the only child and his parents let him join the NAVY???) , and where his parents live...hmm...., and what would I do while Joel is away (underway). She asked me if I have a plan to study in the States also.

She asked why I chose to study in Japan and uhm... yes, she did ask if I ever tried to visit Joel in the States. I honestly said yes...with a sad tone....I thought she was going to ask more questions about it but instead she went like "ah, okie!" (i guess she's happy enough that i was honest). She also asked me about my trip to Toronto, Canada, whether it was to meet up with Joel or not. I said yes and she just nodded.

Then I dunno what she did but her pen flew off her hand and we both said "OOPS!" and she laughed.

After that she just flipped through some e-mails that Joel sent with I-129, and after a few secs she told me that she thought everything was set and that I should be able to get my visa in within 2-3 days. She told me to call first to make sure that the Visa is ready to be picked up, and cheerfully said CONGRATULATIONS!

A little tip for those who will have an upcoming interview in Jakarta, do tell the guards that you are coming for the IMMIGRANT VISA interview. Otherwise you will get trapped in the neverending lines of the Non-Immigrant Visa Applicants..... like me.... haha. But I learned pretty fast and I didn't get stuck in any other lines by saying the magic word "IMMIGRANT VISA!!"

Any questions about the interview, just ask away.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU!!
