My interview result...

[Bel & Er 0]

Hi everyone!

Just want to share these... Our interview scheduled yesterday april 3, 6:30am. We arrived there 5am then we went into the line at 5:30am coz' we looked a place where to park. At 6:15 we're already inside the u.s embassy. We got our number at 7am. Our no. called at 8:30am for our pre-interview to a filipina woman. She asked me so many trick questions, I think it was about 25 questions including my son's case. She asked our wedding photos w/c I don't have. I show her our family photos in diff. occassion instead. Here are list of docs I submitted:

1. Latest tax return and W-2

2. Our family photo album

3. All remittance ( western union, LBC, fedex, phone bills)

4. Letters and cards

5. Hospital B-certificate of my son knowledged by his father

6. B-certificate of my son from our local registrar office

7. Adoption Decree

It was a long conversation it took 30 mins. I think. Because she thought my son is our adopted. I answered quickly no ma'am he is our natural son. I gave to her all evidences, then she read the adoption decree stating is to legitimate his status and allow my son to use the surname of his father since he was born before we got married and also, during his birth, my husband's marriage to his former wife has not yet been dissolved. To make it short, she said, he may have a claim to u.s citizenship.

9:20am our no. called again for our interview to a consul woman. Some of previous question repeated. She was very nice to me. She smiled every after I answered her question, I smiled too and it lessen my nervous.

It took only 5 mins... When he looked at my son's docs she asked me if I did went to ACS I answered no ma'am. And I heared this again... your son may have a claim to u.s citizenship. Ok I'll do it for you. She went to ACS and waited for her about 20 mins. When she came back smiled again and she said ok still have many things to fix because we have to see first our legal expert regarding this matter. Will call your no again at other window.

After 5 mins. our no. called again. A filipina woman explained everything I need to know... To make the story short she said you can pay this in Delbros ( she gave me the pink slip) but before you go there you have to pass at ACS (American Citizen Services) first to checked the result of these ( she gave me 221g form noted my son may have a claim to U.S citizenship). Thats it result is positive... ACS gave me a form registration and for his passport application that has to sign by my husband. So I have again to go in process for my son. Met all requirements and come back to U.S embassy. My worry is how long these process would take until they grant a U.S passport to my son... If anyone here knows please let me know...

Am very thankful of these forum because guys all your experiences and advices helped me a lot... and hope my experienced could help others too.

After we submitted the paperwork (form for passport and SS# and birth certificate) and paid the fee (I think 147$) we got our son's passport in the mail within days. VERY easy!! Good luck

My worry is how long these process would take until they grant a U.S passport to my son... If anyone here knows please let me know...

I can't really say how long this will take...sorry, but on the other had it all sounds positive. If you son has claim to US citizenship then what I am gathering is that you are approved as soon as they verify the papers. I think congratulations are in order.

I think, even though your process is taking little longer than you had expected, all facts from your post suggest that everything is heading toward right direction. Just hang in there for little longer.
