first- congrats on the approval.

cmon dude that is not cool. stressing everyone out about the interview & not giving up any info. everyone else has said if your relationship is genuine you should have no problems. just stay calm & answer the questions honestly. the Philippine gov't & US embassy do not monitor VJ. what happened? what was the mistake on your paperwork? please explain very tough & grilled. what is different in your case than the "nothing to worry about crowd"? you have me & several others stressing about this now.

i agree to smoke20... my interview is coming soon.. the other day, im so excited..my documents are in my bag already.

then this Jen&Larry incident came along..i felt bad for them..then you post this thread today..i feel so anxious..still awake... up to now..

hi!

do you mean you were there with your gal DURING the interview? is that allowed? if yes i'll ask my hubby to be here in Phils with me as well!

thanks!

We were approved thats the good news. Our consul was very tough on my gal, very tough! I do not want to get into details until she is out of the country. I will be very specific once that happens. Our consol was denying people left and right. I saw many sad gals coming out of that room. One interview lasted 30+ minutes with the average lasting 20+ minutes. I listened to the gals getting grilled over and over and was cringing for them. God help you if you get this person. The consol would ask the same questions many different ways and if you slipped up you were toast.

The pre-screen person was nice but but very firm and business like. The consul on the other hand...

The link here about what happens at the USEM has many errors in it. They no longer give green/white tag for approval. You have prescreen BEFORE finger prints. You DO go to windows 37-38 after approval even if you have visa pick up in person. The finger print is at window 33. There were many other errors as well but I forget what they were as I am very tired (2am wakeup).

Be careful with your forms one tiny mistake on ours (even after checking them 6x) ended up being a big deal that got knocked down to a small deal once I started answering questions. I wish I could say more but fear punishment if I do.

Good luck to everyone. If you get this person you will need it. I can honestly say that if I wasnt there my gal would have been declined. No doubt in my mind.

Oh and it took 4.5 hours from start to finish. You CAN bring in food and water which I did do thank God. Just hide it in your gals purse.

I believe if I am not mistaken that the USC spouse can come with the interview..now I am also thinking of coming with my husband on his, the Jen and Larry outcome made me nothing more than worried, (not that my hubby uses or used any kind of drugs!) then this recent post. I hope that the details will be shared with all of us so we can all learn our lessons from each others experiences.. and that makes this site very useful to us..

What made you say that? Are you the one who answered all the questions?

My gal was asked half the questions and I was asked the other half. I got to explain about the questions the consol asked her. That put the consol at ease with us. All I can say is that if I was not there my gal would not have made it through 30 minutes with this consol. She would have been crying and a nervous wreck. I do not believe in my heart she would have passed the interview. Read what I said about the gals that went in previous to us.

Im not taking any chances with this until we are home in the states. It would be all to easy for the consols to get on the internet and read these pages. VJ was a vary common name floating around the blue chairs. Everyone of the gals and guys knew of this site. I would imagine the consols do too.

come on, I really agree with the others. There is no use in making everyone nervous. I read VERY few negative posts here

that arent directly linked to the applicant. Why is your's so different, did they just single you out for some reason?

I have to agree about not stressing out. You can search through here and see where most people dont have any problems as long as all the paperwork is in order. The only time that any one has a problem is when there is something wrong in the paperwork or something makes the consul suspicious. Then they will get tough. Im sure if anyone had any problems with this particular CO it would have been posted before. There must have been something that caught that CO's attention or maybe he or she just had a bad day. As far as being afraid that the CO might see what u write on here and take some type of action, let me say I work for the Government and its illegal for us to take action in a official capacity for what someone writes about us. If u not going to discuss what happened just keep it to yourself instead of getting everyone worried for nothing.

If you think its for nothing then have a nice day. I posted what I saw with my own eyes and ears. Im not going to be bullied into talking unitil she is in America.

Tell me how would you prove that someone lost your paperwork or worse?

And your statement makes no sense if you read my post. This did NOT just happen to us alone. I could hear the girls and the consol talking back and forth from the chairs. The last girl was in line at the finish window asking about her "problems" in front of us. She did not get approved.

Ailene's interview appointment was 7:30 am. She was back at the hotel calling me by 8:45 am and she even stopped and bought a load for her phone.

I know some ladies have to wait a while to be called, and it takes lot longer than Ailene.

She said the consul was very polite and even laughed during her interview. He only asked her question about me, when did i visit her, where we went, was i married before, and whats my job. After the interview he said " you are approved, are you happy?"

I just can't imagine why the consul would want to have a girl in tears.

Thats just my two cents worth...

Congradulations ...may all your Dreams come true..

My fiancee got approved! It was less than 3 mins interview for her - that's it. And I gathered that the consul she got just asked her name, my name as petitioner, how we met, what's my job, how old are both of us, she looked at the very limited pictures the Prescreening girl took and forwarded (not all pictures and documents were asked by the ways). The prescreening was even more strict than the consul.

Fiancee was hungry and thirsty with all the waiting though. So make sure to fill up before you enter the gate.

THe best for everyone.

Congrats.

Congratulations and do share the details later.

DeeZee is right...i hope you could share some details..

specially those questions by the CO.

congratulations!

As soon as we are home I will post very specific details. I promise you that. All I can say is that the men should be there. If the man is not there you really take your chances. There were 3 men there of which I was one of them. Thats 3 out of 200. I wont criticize not going with your gal but dont come here and complain if she doesnt get approved. I think this is the most important day you will ever face. This process is 90% preparation and 10% presentation but that 10% helps if its done correctly.

I dont want to say if the consol is male/female right now.

Congrats. but why unnecessarily stress out the ladies who will not have their fiance at the interview with them.
