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...

LOL! I'm literally looking for "Philippines" on everyone's profiles, LOL! I'll admit that it reassures me most to hear these comments from those who went through the Manila Embassy as I'm always hearing that Manila seems to be the toughest of all the embassies when it comes to these issues.

Well, I'm worried because I might have screwed a date up on my affidavit of support and I just barely meet the 125% poverty level requirement.

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! :)

Well, then thank you, sir! :)

I keep trying to tell her and myself "We made it this far so why wouldn't we make it the rest of the way?"

I'll keep the faith and thank you!

Forgive my blunt questioning but what time was her interview scheduled?

My fiance's was scheduled at 7:30.

still no word from my fiance. Her appointment was set at 7:30. She's been there four hours now. How long could the wait times possibly be?

:unsure:

I sure hope so. What causes such a long time in the embassy, anyway? I heard there are multiple "Windows" for the interviews. Basically just long lines?

I heard that most of the interviews are no longer than 30 minutes in length. Others have said as little as 3 minutes.

It is probably a good thing they added additional interview days. It was taking several months to get an interview once the petition reached Manila. When we went through it took two months from the NVC letter until the interview.

Heh! Heh! It took me three months. :P

I was actually grateful for that much lead time as she and I weren't financially or otherwise prepared for the interview. We were told it would take six months from the approval date for an interview to be scheduled. Needless to say, she and I were both shocked by the packet 4 which arrived to her On August 4 last month. I then had to frantically save, borrow, and ration money and hurry and gather up all my necessary documents. It was the most tedious month of both of our lives. It was a hardship so stressful we even had some of our first real arguments as a couple. LOL! Best to get practice now before marriage, I guess. :P

UPDATE!!!!

My baby just texted me! She told me her final interview is scheduled after lunchbreak.

I guess she was put through more than one interview but she wasn't specific. She told me she would text me again when she's completely finished and that she was going back inside.

She sounded happy so I guess it's going well! Whew! :)
