If PW is not approved today :devil: , I might be forced to fly to the Phil and run naked around the USE in protest. I can see the news headlines reading, "Black man runs naked around the USE in protest of injustice!" :blush::P:no::lol:

:crying: :crying: :crying: WAAAHHHHH!!! HUHUHU!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: Sheriff, you’d better get a seat on the next plane to Manila because you’re gonna run naked in front of the USE.

Just giving you a scare guys. Consul said “everything looks fine” so I guess I’m APPROVED! WOOHOOO! Thank you all for your prayers and support.

My son and I arrived at the embassy at 7:15 am for the 7:30 interview. By the time I was interviewed by the consul, it was already 2:00 pm! So many people inside. We stepped out of embassy grounds at exactly 3:00 pm, arrived home at 4:45 pm. Reporting for duty now hehe.

My Filipino pre-screener was super duper friendly. Feeling ko nag-bonding kami (charing!). We made chika-ola for 30 minutes. ~ imagine, my pre-screening took all of 30 minutes! Tagal no? Sabi ko na nga ba, the embassy missed me kaya they wanted me back hehe.

On a serious note, please bring the pink receipt that BPI issues during your interview. The bank validation of my DS-157 lacked a “checkwriter” stamp and it caused me some delay. Good thing I brought my pink receipt so they just stapled it at the back of my DS-157. Please remind BPI to stamp the “checkwriter”.

Will update more later guys. I need to wake up my hotDoug (my fiance's name is Douglas and I call him hotDoug behind his back hihi)

a very happy PW :dance:

Congratulations! You truly deserve it!

Thanks for all your help to me and my husband

Have a safe trip and happy life with your husband!

Wow! Our little thread got so big the great Capt. Ewok had to step in and close it :P I was nervous when I saw his name as the last poster. I thought we had violated something and we were being warned hehehe.

By the way, the link to the Old Manila thread is in my signature.

My baby got her visa in hand today. She passed her interview on April 4th. I want to thank everyone here for their prayers and this community and I wish everyone who is going through this stressful time the best of luck. It is certainly a test of faith and love. I don't think it would have been easier without everyone here. May God bless you all.
