[orion44 0]

Thanks, she just texted me at 12:15 PM Manila time. They asked her to come back after lunch. She said she hadn't had her interview yet and everything is fine so far. That's the first I've heard that it would continue after lunch. Anyway, looks like I'll be up later than I thought tonight. Needles and pins.

hope you'll still have some fingernails left. almost 2am Manila time now. hopefully you wont have to wait much longer. you'll make it

Approved!!!!!!!

Congrats! We went through the same thing because of the unknown. They will not say you're approved but they don't say you're on AR either - you're left in limbo. IMO you never know you're approved until the USE releases the visa to Delbros. If you're in the Metro Manila area your visa should be delivered tomorrow. Check your status online and it's probably going to be out for delivery tomorrow. Be sure to be home so you can sign for it.

Does US Manila embassy accept co-sponsor? I read somewhere that US embassy in Manila is very strict on this and sometimes doesnt accept this. Anyone who can confirm......

They accept documentation for co-sponsor but there's a 99% chance that visa will be denied if you are K1. I've only heard of one K1 who was approved using a co-sponsor but she is a NURSE (which is in short supply in the US) who also had a firm job offer from a hospital. So, your case should really be extraordinary for embassy to issue visa using co-sponsor.

Congratulations Orion!

Thanks, she just texted me at 12:15 PM Manila time. They asked her to come back after lunch. She said she hadn't had her interview yet and everything is fine so far. That's the first I've heard that it would continue after lunch. Anyway, looks like I'll be up later than I thought tonight. Needles and pins.

hope you'll still have some fingernails left. almost 2am Manila time now. hopefully you wont have to wait much longer. you'll make it

Approved!!!!!!!

Congrats best wishes for a happy life together.

wow!! congratulations orion 44!! :dance:goodluck to the rest of us

[orion44 0]

It feels so good to have the visa approved!!

Mharis told me the pre-screener asked for the affadavit of support, her bc, latest tax record with w2, and photos only. They had a friendly chat in Tagalog about the photos in Bohol. She wasn't asked for chats, emails, cards, phone records, etc.

She waited most of the day with three other ladies with K1's and at noon they asked them to come back at one for their interviews. Mharis dashed across the street and we talked for a few minutes where she told me not to worry it was going well and keep praying.

She said there were a few interviewers the women saw took a long time with the clients, and everyone was nervous they would be called to one of their windows. When she was called, she went to a window with a nice young woman who again had a friendly chat with her mostly about the pictures. Then she said, "Congratulations, you're approved." Yay. the other three ladies were approved that day as well.

She paid Delbros and is waiting now for the visa to arrive. Now we start the next part of the journey. Our plan is for me to finish the teaching year and summer school and fly out to escort her home the last week of July.

Thanks again to everyone of Visa Journey! You helped give us confidence and gave us great information at every step of the way. I emailed all the success stories to Mharis to let her know we were going to make it too. Mabuhay!

Hello Everyone,

Is is acceptable to use married name when filling out embassy or medical documents? I am in the process of answering forms available online or in softcopy (using photshop elements) to lessen the waiting time during interview (hopefully). Please advise.

Thank you.
