My fiance is currently at her interview! Do they allow cell phones inside the embassy because I sent her phone texts.

I'm so nervous and excited at the same time! :wacko:

I guess I can only wait now. Any idea on how long this process may take? Her letter said her appointment today was at 7:30.

Please pray for us and that everything will go smoothly.

This is the last step for us and I want to finally be done with this long long loooooooooooong visa process! :unsure:

December 5, 2005: We met online and our lives changed--instant connection, became best friends

May 15, 2006: She is put on temporary hold from her job and asks me if I could hold on for her in the event she didn't get the job back. I said "yes, of course" and she finally proclaimed her love to me and admitted she'd loved me since February.

September 25, 2006: I land in Manila airport and rush into my baby's arms for the first time. We were both surprised to realise we were NOT nervous.

September 25, 2006: Our first kiss :P

September 27, 2006: I proposed to her in person and she accepted! :)

December 20, 2006: Mailed I-129 K1 petition to Texas service Center

January 15, 2007: Petition returned to me rejected :/ (placed wrong amount on check--duh!)

Febrary 10, 2007: Resubmitted the petition adding updated info pages and a CORRECT check

February 26, 2007: NOA1

May 28, 2007: I land in Manila on our anniversary and we feel whole and complete yet again :)

June 20, 2007: NOA2 which said it would take six months for an interview (Dunno why it said that)

August 4, 2007: My baby receives Packet 4 unexpectedly out of nowhere--the frantic cramming begins

August 23, 2007: Frantically prepared documents FedExed

August 30, 2007: My baby has a long two days at St. Lukes but checks out fine! :)

September 6, 2007: Interview date: after 8 agonising hours--APPROVED!!! :D

September 6, 2007: Plans for her arrival in January 2008 for our wedding are established! :)

Wow! It could really take a possible five-six hours? Well, it's no worse than the wait times my sweetheart had to endure at St. Luke's last week. :/

I texted her yesterday and recommdend she take a snack along this time.

It's almost a sureal feeling that the interview is today. After months and months and months of waiting, it's almost hard to believe it's finally here!

I've visited my fiance in her country twice now and even saw the outside of the embassy on my last trip. That building gave me the chills, LOL! The can only imagine what she's going through right now but I know her well and she's a very intelligent, resourceful, and strong woman. If anyone can handle it, I know she can. :)

As of now? Not after just reading a very disturbing post about a person whose fiance was grilled very hard by this one CO in the Manila Embassy. I'm not sure if you've read the thread but the man was saying things like: "The CO was denying girls left and right and if I wasn't there with my gal she wouldn't have been approved".

Now I'm even more nervous. :unsure:

hey, dont worry so much. We had our interview on August 13. We were one of the last to be interviewed close to 11:30. I would say that most got approved. Out of the many we saw only 2 seemed upset. Most were giving thumbs up and were smiling when they came out of the interview.

Anyhow our interview was very quick about 3 minutes. If your paperwork is in order, I think you are ok.

Hang in there...
