Hi Noki,

I think we bump to each other or probably have a little chit chat while we are waiting for our number to be flashed. Im seated second raw from Tim Y , I remember Tim Y when he share thier experienced that they are the first one to called for those who has a 7:30 interview yeah they ae seated next to the guard at the back.. . Im wearing a light pink blouse, black pants and has a a thick yellow envelop. hehehe how about you?. I met one lady there and i saw her too during my medical exam. i forgot to asked her name. Maybe it was you.. hehehehe the other good thing about this medical and interview experienced is that you be able to meet new people.and became friends. there is one lady, she is a teacher a k1 too but she still need to have one more co-sponsor for her affidavit of support, i met her also during my medical exam and saw her at the embassy she has a 6:30 interview. We exchanged email address.

I also had my interview yesterday Feb 4. was alone but i have the spirit of my baby with me. My sister and I arived there an hour an half early to my schedule. my sister waited outside bcoz they dont allow companion inside the embassy..

Im excited at the same time nervous even though i know i have jamped packed full of evidence inside my eveloped thanks to my very supportive sweet baby that up to the last minute i asked him to scan certain document which he find ways to give to me. Thank you sweet pumpkin.

The Filipina pre screener asked me bout my fiance's work, when did we met, his age, If he came visit me , if i ever been to Usa. I told the pre screener that i have a family in usa and she write down. She asked me if a have emails so i show her the emails that i printed out, i think she is kind a shock because i show her i have tons of it.. hehehehe. she just asked me to get email from the bottom and to the middle of emails and few present one which i did, she reads it. After reading our emials. She told me to wait and see my number to be flashed on screen. Went back to my seat. i was wondering how come she didnt asked for our pic, my other suporting papers. So i asked this lady who has her fiance at her side, what documents they gave to the pre screener. While i was sitting there wating for my number to flash on screen .im trying to recall all the details about my fiance, and even my passport number hehehehe really. and also praying so hard that i will make it through. i think i call all the saints and angels to guide me during that moment Since im alone there the only thing that im holding on is the love i have for my fiance and faith in God.

My number flashed, window 31, i said to my self.. this is it baby lets get it on.! This is it Lord amen! so i walked to window 31, i was waiting outside because there is still old lady being interviewd. My turn, The American lady consul is nice she seems approachable, she asked me to raised my right hand and swear that all the thing i will tell are all true, my hand is shaking so as my voice. she asked my name if i am single , my petitioner's name, how did we met, what does he do, she just repeated what this filipina pre screener asked me.As im telling her about our love story ,she is reading and browsing my documents and also the documents of my fiance from uscis or nvc.. last thing she asked me is what is my plan of coming to USA. She didnt asked for any documents aside form the emails that i gave to the pre screener.

She said ok they will just verify my documents and theres no way that they will hold on to my visa. They will just need to have some verification because they are still waiting some documents fomr NSO. I told to the lady consul that i did pay the delbros of 650 in metro bank, She said ok. Have a seat and wait for your number or name to be called. I said thank you to her. MY number is called to preceed to window 38 , the lady there gave back to me my emails and piece of paper where you can see if you are lacking of documents you need to give to embassy for completion of doucments, mine is empty. She gave me a pink slip and asked me to pay 165 at delbros which is inside the embassy. I saw people there having a smile on thier face showing that they are passed. Went outside to see my sister.

Be attentive because the number flashed on the screen is sometimes in no particular order.so the kind a nervous. Even if you are alone or if you have your sweet thing at your side although its kind a cool if your fiance is with you because most of the questions will be throwing to your fiance. Hehehehe! just relax dont get nervous Based on what I saw and experienced and asked some Filipina lady there. Pre screeners have different styles and what documents they will be asking so be ready and prepared.

Im alone there but i have the spirit of my baby with me.

Congrats to you both!! :thumbs:

Thank you djturbo.. Good Luck to you and God bless us all!
