I just had my interview last Tuesday September 16, 2008 and it went fine.

I had my husband with me since the Sundayand we had piles of evidences like album of pictures, very thick copies of emails, copies of wire transfers and so much that it took us 2 bags to carry jst in case the consul would going to ask us evidences that proves that our relationship was real. We arrived in the embassy at 5:40 am and stayed on the very right side of the Philippine embassy which is near to the public comfort room because we are very early coz out interview is 7 am. We qued there and waited til the guard told us to go to the white tent and there are already many who cued there even in a very early time so make sure to go there as early as you could and show my appointment letter and they also let my husband get inside and as get inside we again sit down in a wooden chair and cue again until everyone get inside to the embassy and had checked our bags and also checked if we had any electronic devices with us which we did not brought with us because if we did we will be denied to get inside.

As we proceed going to the Non-Immigrant and Immigrant Unit there are already many people in there and we saw some numbers shown in front of us and some small units.

We sat in a blue chair and one lady announced that we need to prepare our appointment letter, 2 copies of 156, 2 copies 157 and making sure that you had your pictures attached on the DS and filled all the blanks in there. And the guard asked us if who are applicants of the 7 am and raised our hands and he let us cue to a small booth that can be immidiately seen when getting inside to the Immigrant Unit. A lady checked my papers and gave it back to me and when it was my turn the lady gave me a small slip which composed of 4 numbers and i get back to my sit.

Afterwards my number is already called by a lady and let me proceed to unit 16 for the finger printing. And after that went back to my sit again. Waited for a longer time to be called for the pre-interview and we havent had breakfast yet because me and my husband was very tensed and excited at the same time that we forgot to eat but at least there is a part of the place that sales drink and some Goldilocks product and some junk foods for a snackand we only got water. My husband was more tense that i do,hehe. And my number appeared and i proceed to window 25 and a lady in there asked me questions like:

Whats your name?

Whats your husband's name?

Whats the nationality of your husband?

How many times does your husband come in the Philippines?

When was your wedding?

Where did you had your wedding?

Do you know that your husband had a wife before?

(my husband was divorced before)

How many times had he divorced?

Have any children?

Do you know what his work?

What kind of work does he have?

And the lady asked me to show my NBI clearance, Marriage Certificate, Birth Certificate, Delbros receipt, ITR as of 2007.

When the lady was asking me i was very focused that i always had an eye contact when i answered her, smiles after answering to overcome my nervousness and i was thankful because my husband was there with me which is a strong factor of an evidence of having a real relationship. The lady asked us to sit again and after 10 minutes sitting my number appeared and proceed to the room 28. Me and my husband went inside and we found a foreign man sitting in front of us busy typing on his computer. He faced us and he told my husband to go out and if he need to asked something to my husband he will just tell him. The man was quite serious that i was very tense, i was very ready with my evidences just in case. He started asking me:

What was your name?

How long were your relationship with your husband?

Whats his job and what kind of job he had?

What do does he do in his job?

How many times did you met?

Whats your age?

Do you know your husbands age?

Does he have any children?

Do you have any children?

And he proceed on typing in his computer and checking my files with him, i was praying that very moment that the interview has to end,hehehe. Which it did! The interview was very fast and i was even expecting that the consul would going to ask me any evidences to prove our relationship but he did not.

I went out to the room and told my husband that the interview was already finished. Weve waited again to the blue chair and my name was called on the releasing window and i was the 3rd on the row that is being told, the first one was given a white slip and a pink slip coz she was asked to give an ITR but she havent produced one and the second was given a pink slip and i got a pink slip too! I asked the guy who gave me a pink slip if how would i know if my visa is approved or not and he told me that if i was given a pink slip that was the time i would know? Im confused! But i still proceed to the Delbros to pay the delivery of the visa??? My husband was confused too..

We went out to the embassy and hoping that i was approve!!!

Just proof that the document verification was paid. It seems that they were convinced enough, however, not to wait for the document verification to be completed because surely it hadn't.

I just want to know if what was the DELBROS RECEIPT t.hat the Lady aHis you to show with your NBi Clearance, birt, marriage cert and ITR.Thank You in advance .
