Medical DONE!!!!

What a relief. I heard some ugly stories about being uncomfortable and being unfairly treated, but the Mexico City clinic was very professional and the experience was good and without any incident.

I have my sealed results in hand. Next week the final 2 steps of this length of the journey!!!

I feel soooo happy!!! :dancing:

Hi, Just had my Interview today here in U.S Consulate Seoul, Korea and its APPROVED!!!!!!

Everything went really fast and the interview itself was kind of short and the questions was like :

1. How did I met my Fiancé ?

2. When did i first met my Fiancé?

3. How many times I've been to the U.S?

4. Any arrests during my stay in the US?

5. What do I do here in Korea?

The Consul was so nice too and asked me if Im more comfortable talking in English or Korean. I told him "of course English" cause I am from the Philippines :lol: . Only 6 people today at the embassy and I finished really early too.

Goodluck to Everyone!!!
