HELLO MY VJ FRIENDS...GOOD NEWS, WE WERE APPROVED!!!! :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::dance::dance::dance:

Just so you guys know, my husbands interview lasted only 3 minutes. (But the whole experience took about 6 hours...lines, lines). And my husband took a lot of evidence, pictures, joint bank statements, a lot of stuff. THEY DID NOT ASK TO SEE ANYTHING. They did not even look at what he took. They only asked when we met, how long we dated, if he had ever been in the US, and if we were married both legally and religiously. My husband said yes, we are married both by law and by the catholic church, and they said, OK you are APPROVED. That was it!!!

Oh and since there are 5 crossing bridges in Ciudaed Juarez, into Texas. Once you get the yellow envelope (the one you have to give to the US officer at the POE) it tells you what POE (bridge) you have to go to. We were assigned to FABENS, TEXAS bridge. That was the farthest one...but it was OK because it was really small POE Office (it was like an office trailer) and there was only one couple in front of us waiting. So the process was really fast.

For the rest of you waiting or who need info on the Consulate in Ciudad Juarez, I will post more info on the Foreign embassy - Ciudad Juarez Thread.

THANKS GUYS FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT.

NOW IT'S TIME FOR AOS.

FELICIDADES :thumbs:

First a big congrats to YG and Mat :thumbs:

Neenuh, it is nice to hear Feelicks is on his way to visit you. Have a great reunion. I would very much like to visit my wife now.

As for an update the AR is still the same. The doc verification delays seem to be growing rapidly on the Philippines forum. K1, K3, and CR1/AR1 visas are all being affected. Today has been two months since Meryll paid the verification fee and DELBROS text confirmed the receipt.

I suggest when your time comes to pay the doc verification fee early and call DELBROS to make sure they have received and forwarded your payment.

i would like to thank VJers for their help and suppor throughout this process.....I had my interview yesterday, March 6, and the consul said my husband (davejaz42107) and I are approved and was given a pink slip and paid the delivery fee. I feel funny because half of me wants to celebrate and the other half wants to wait til I have the visa before I do because I don't want to expect and then learn we're on AR because of the document verification :P I wasn't given a white slip that says "wait til you hear from us" :) planning to leave the PI on the 18th....i just hope the visa arrives on time :)

edp33, thank you for your help. We're still praying for you as well as roserick and the others from the PHilippines forum who are on AR.

I posted here so i could let everyone know of our update cuz Dave is busy preparing for my arrival :jest:

It's wonderful to see such great progress in this thread. A huge congratulations to Pkewl, YGandMAT and Dave & Jaz :D:dance: :dance: It is a great feeling to see more of the people I have gone through this journey with, receive their approvals and be reunited or so close to being reunited :)

I don't see another post from Pechez, so hope all went well for them too.

I hope Delbros doesn't keep you waiting for too much longer Ed.

KingsleysPrincess and Faith11, best of luck for the interviews. I will have you both in my thoughts for a positive outcome in the next few days :)
