visa interview experienced

[jessel chris 0]

I was so thankful that I met a very nice friend named Jennifer from Zamboanga we actually met during our medical examination and we found out that we had the same interview schedule. We stayed together in the hotel. We woke up around 4am and went to the Embassy 5:00am but I guess we are too early since we were told to go inside around 6:30am but it was ok since we rent a chair for 20 pesos so we didn't really get tired standing...

Don't bring any cellphones, mp3 and camera inside. They will not allow you to bring it inside and they didn't have a counter area where you can left your gadgets. Before you can go inside the embassy you should present your DS forms(pictures pasted and forms with signature) and 1 I.D. to the guard but don't worry if you can't bring I.D. you can present your NBI clearance to Identify if it was really you When you get inside they will scan your things so better not bring gadgets that are not allowed because surely they will see it.

When we were inside the guard guide us and let us sit on the chair and after few minutes the guard said we can already get our number so there I gave my DS forms and the receipt from BPI(payment for visa)and afterwards they gave me my number and it was 7009. We go back to the chair were we sat first and then wait for my number to flash in queuing board. You should need to be attentive if you see your number to be flash, you need to go quick to the window assigned to you if not they will be rude to you. After 1 hour of waiting my name was called at window 16 for finger printing. All you have to do is to show your number and don't worry what to do next because you will be guided by a lady on how to do the finger scanning and after that I went back to my chair. After 1hr of waiting my number flashed on the queuing board and I was assigned to window 26. This time the Filipina pre-screener asked some documents from me like my BC, NBI, CENOMAR, Affidavit of Support, Income tax return and W2, few pictures and letters. She also asked me few questions like:

Who is your petitioner?

Where did you meet?

How old are you?

Was he married before?

I was done about 15minutes from the filipina pre-screener... I went back to my chair shaking and very nervous... Hour after the CO windows was already opened and starting flashing numbers... My friend Jen was assigned to window 44 and when she get inside my number was flashed and it was window 44. Jen was done just for 5 minutes and after she went out to the room I came in and I smiled and greeted the CO Good morning and he respond Good morning How are you?? and then He told me to raise my right hand and asked me If I will tell the truth.

Questions from the CO

Who is your petitioner?

Was he married before?

Does he drive?

What car?What is the color?

Do you know how to drive?

And he said you better know how to drive since people there are driving....and thats it! He get a pink slip and stamped it and I was so happy when he said OK YOU ARE APPROVED!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I wait for my name to be called in Window 37 from there they will give you the pink slip and appointment letter and let you pay the delbros for only 165 pesos only and after paying it you are ready to go home and wait for visa delivery

I'm so thankful to God that everything went well............

Thanks for all of you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you Riza for your prayers
