We had a successful interview yesterday at the Manila Embassy. I cant describe the feeling, we are so overwhelmed! :dance::dance::dance:

I was interviewed around 8:30 am by the pre-interview screener, holding number 7016. It was short and only asked me few questions and to submit my BC, CENOMAR, NBI, other police clearance, affidavit of support, emails and pictures.During my fingerprint scanning, got a little prob coz my fingers are small esp my pinky, lol! So i need to repeat it and i made the fingerprinting scanner laughed and other applicants.

At 9:50am, my number flash at the queing board to meet the Consul (lil nervous). I have to wait coz he still interviewing the old couple for their tourist visa so at exactly 10am time to meet the CO. He asked to raised my right hand and sworn. He asked me the ff questions:

1) Who is my petitioner

2) How long i know my fiance and if we ever discuss our marriage.

3) When i met him personally and how long he stayed

4) My fiance civil status

5) If i ever been married and if i have kid/s

5) My educational attainment and course of study

(he was impressed coz he read i graduated in a university of scholars in Manila)

After that he congratulate me and told me to give Joe a call to tell him i was approved!!!

I told him i wish i could but i left my celphone on our car, then we both laughed. When i left cubicle 29, i feel like floating in the air, our conversation is great, the CO is kind and approachable, u wont feel nervous coz he always smile. He told me that he has no doubt abt our relationship and he didnt want to disappoint my fiance's daughter coz he read her letter saying she cant wait for me to be with them, good point that i included some of their pictures.

Thank you fellow vjers who sent us prayers and goodluck to make our interview a huge success!

GOODLUCK and MAY GOD BLESS US ALWAYS...

I would like to extend my congratulations too to Lizzie and Bob, Kevin and Leslie, Danny and Ruchie and to all others who were approved too...CONGRATULATION once again :dance::dance:
