Manila Embassy Interview/Visa Status

[~Chad~ 0]

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.

Will

Congrats Will!

First of all, maraming, maraming salamat po sa pagbati ninyong lahat! Feeling ko para akong si Manny Pacquiao sa pagbubunyi ng sambayanang Pilipino hehe. Pero, I am humbled talaga. To each and everyone of you, thank you all so much from the bottom of my heart. I am so touched, nakakaiyak na po talaga.

Binabati ko rin ang aking Filipino pre-screener and American consul sakaling nagbabasa sila ng VJ. Salamat po sa visa ko kahit hindi pa dumarating (hwag po sanang ma-AR sa huling sandali).

Updating to congratulate those who got approved and received their visas. Yehey, happy days are here again!!! Welcome to the waiting list dcorrz! Good luck to Kayz on Monday!!! Gobdogman and 49Bstreet, can we have the exact date of delivery of passport and place delivered please?

Okay, I need to go out to do some grocery shopping otherwise my son won't be able to eat. More later....

PW...

Hey!!! Ang asawa ko has been helping me with my Tagalog and I'm doing selft study. Anyway, even with my infant Tagalog, I translated most of what you wrote just fine and hehehe about feeling like Manny Pacquiao. For those who don't know. Manny Pacquiao is EMORMOUSLY popular in the Philippines (he's a world champion boxer). When he has a fight, everybody, and I mean everybody, watches the fight and roots for him like we did for PW. Like I wrote before, you are the ONLY person that I've known that has had a pleasant encounter with the pre-screeners. All I have to write about that is destiny and fate. Oh, also like I wrote before, you might want to ask God if he was on vacation during your first go round and tell him that you forgive him. Hehehehe! God has a sense of humor. I'm sure or he would not have made me so dahamn silly...

Cheers to you and your lovely family.

Well PW do you have to change you VJ name now? Just joke, good luck on you trip to America now. I remember when I moved there for the first time, big culture shock for me. Oh well good luck to everybody else on this journey. I hope in 9 months time my news is good too.

I say that God was testing her... Like you want to be PatientlyWaiting... Try this on for size... Hehehehe!!! I say that you change you VJ ID as well, let's say to, "IW" ImpatientlyWaiting so that your expectations are known. We can laugh about it now that it's over. Well minus the receipt of the visa that is forthcoming (no worries). We're all so happy for your family. I can't wait to read about your new experiences her in the States. Check out Jhen's profile [Deputy Uling] to get a head start on the Adjustment of Status process. I'm hoping that with all you and your family has been through that your case is approved without an interview.

Cheers!

Hello everyone

I have a question on the differences between fiance and fiancee, what is it?

And is it ok that fill out the DS forms electronically, because i had erasures on the DS forms that the USE have sent me. Is that ok?

Thanks.

Fiance - Man

Fiancee - Woman

By all means, complete the forms electronically. It's easier to read. However, complete the DS-156 Nonimmigrant Visa Application via the website [CLICK HERE]. If you want to make an adjustment to the DS-156 application then you will have to input all the information over again and re-print so that your barcodes match.

Cheers!!!

Both means person engaged to be married, the difference is that fiance pertaining to a man and fiancee to a woman. I filled out DS forms electronically and just keep the forms enclosed in my packet 4. So its ok if u do it electronically coz the output is same is just that when u printed it out it has a barcode. I see you are also a May batch...our time for "judgment day" is pretty close now.

Good morning all,

Well its been a little over 2 weeks now since Jasmin and Gracey arrived, and all is going very well. Jasmin got her SSN in the mail last week (very quick), they arrived on march 29th and the date on the ss card is april 3...wish immigration worked as fast as the SSA.. Gracey started school last week, the principal agreed to put her in the same Kindergarten class as my youngest son Tristan. Both kids were so excited and Gracey had no problem adjusting to the school. It really amazes me how quickly she is learning more English and communicating so well. Jasmin is adjusting well also, but now that the kids are in school she is alone in the house during the day so we are searching for a part time job for her. Its difficult to find something here for just a few hours a day while the kids are in school thats close enough to walk to...as it will be a while before we can get another car and teach her to drive here in the US.

All in all things are going very well, my family absolutely adores Jasmin and Gracey and we have spent alot of time visiting with them. Jasmin is enjoying the conveniences of things like the microwave, vaccuum cleaner and especially the washer and drier. Gracey is still amazed that you can drink the water here right from the tap. They are both getting used to the food here...of course i went out and bought alot of white rice before they arrived, but each day we try something new to learn what they like and dislike...for the most part they are enjoying the new flavors and tastes.

The only bad things so far are...me coming down with the flu for the second time in a month, so Jasmin got to see what a big baby I am when i'm sick....lol and the weather...here in New York its been unseasonably cold and we have had a little snow here and there...like riht now...here we are half way throung april and we are having a "nor-easter"...its snowing out as I write this...but it cant last forever!! Gracey actually seems to like the colder temperature...Jasmin...not so much...lol

I'm just so happy to finally have my two girls home with me...it was such a long wait!!! Our 1 year wedding anniversary is coming up next week...

Good luck to all!!!

PW,

we got our visa on 4/15 it was supposed to be delivered to Bayawan but Delbros said they wouldnt be able to deliver it to her house and that they would just give the visa to the Ceres bus driver to deliver

I find it hard to understand why we pay extra to have delivered in province and they wont deliver it.

My fiancee had to go to Dumaguete and pick up her visa .

That's a nice story. I'm happy to read that your wife and daughter are adjusting very well. I'm happy for you and your family.

PW,

Congrats on your visa. Start packing and have a safe trip!
