my fellow vjers..

thank you so much for all your help with my visajourney..finally im done with my interview and thank GOd!...i was approved :) ..im so happy and very thankful that it went fine.

my interview was at 6:30 and i went to the embassy at 5:am.

didnt remember the exact time when they let us in but i was done around 9:30 AM.

i had my fingers scanned first before the pre-interview others had vice versa.

during my pre interview..the interviewer asked me these questions:

who is your petitioner?

what is your relationship with him?

how did you meet?

when did you meet?

when is your birthday?

you already travelled overseas right?

how many times?

what countries?

how long in each country?

he wrote down everthing he has asked from me and all my answers.

then asked if i have pictures of me with my husband...I just held my folder upright and open the pages one by one so he can see them through the glass window.. it didnt fit when i tried to slide it in.

after that he told me to wait for my number ...for the interview by the CO..

He never asked for any document except for the pictures..But i got everything ready ..

I was so nervous..i can literally hear my heart beating...prayed in silence.

Then my number pops in the screen...THE CO was so nice...she had a big smile made me feel little at ease..

i was asked the same questions the pre -interviewer asked from me..with a one addition: what does my husband do for a living...then I saw she was holding the same paper in which the pre interviewer wrote down my answers..I saw all the documents that we submitted to the NVC..she looked at them one by one..read few words..frown from time to time , looking so engrossed with what she is reading and then smile at me..then looks like she is thinking of some questions she can ask but she didnt...then ask if i got pictures with me...

she never ask for any document but just look at our pictures..this time my folder fit in the little hole of the glass window...she typed something in her computer ..then signed on one of the document that we submitted before..

then told me i am approved..with eyes wide open i asked her again?? did you say im approve maam..she smiled and said YES and wait for your name to be called for the next step..she said have a nice day..I was so happy i said thank you so much maam..couple of times and told her have a nice day too..

GOod luck to others who will have their interview...soon/ in the coming months..
