Praise God. I Offered everything to Him and so our prayers were granted. I was APPROVED earlier this morning at 10:15am. I arrived at 4am at the embassy then 6am we're told to fall in line and prepared my appointment letter. While inside the embassy we were told by a staff to prepare our ds forms: ds-156, ds-156k, ds-157 and appointment letter. If u missed some ds forms the embassy will provide. Then we were in lined for the ticket number. The numbers were called in random order. I guess i waited an hour before i saw my number flashed on screen for finger scanning. Another hour again for the pre-screening, but i am very lucky i was pre-screened by Window 15 and she's very nice and approachable. She asked for NBI, BirthCert., Cenomar, Affidavit of Support, Letters, E-mails, Phone bills and Photos.

Questions from the Pre-Screener:

1. what is ur name?

2. who is ur petitioner?

2. how did u meet?

3. what does he do for living?

4. does he live alone?

5. are u married before?

6. do u have children?

7. is ur fiance married before?

8. does he have children?

9. when did u meet in person?

10. how many times did he visits you?

11. how many days did he stay in the Phil.?

The pre-screener choose only some letters and photos for the Consul, i was told that if the Consul will ask more proofs of our relationship, ill hand to him what i brought. When done with the pre-screener there were butterflies in my stomach right away but not much. I was a little nervous. Knowing that my co-applicant ahead of me were approved i dont worry much. They said that when all ur papers were complete then there will be no problem and its true, you dont have to worry if u have everything they asked. I waited, at the blue chair, then i saw my number flashed on screen again then i said to myself that THIS IS IT!, I was interviewed by Room 32 as i came in i found an american man seated and waited for me behind the glass. He greeted me Good Morning then i greeted back. He looked at all my documents first then was asked to raise my right hand to swear. Interview begins.

Questions from the Consul:

1. what is ur name?

2. who is ur petitioner?

3. how old are you?

4. how old is ur fiance?

5. how many times did he visits you?

6. how many days he stayed here?

7. when did he arrived in the Phil?

8. what he do for living?

9. what is his work?

10. have u been traveling abroad?

11. have u been in the US?

12. do u have children?

13. does he have children?

14. when do u plan to get married?

15. when do plan to leave?

After the Consular interview i heard him say. CONGRATULATIONS! YOUR VISA HAS BEEN APPROVED! WELCOME TO THE UNITEd STATES!. i am sOooo happy that i am approved. I said THANK YOU SIR!. then i left the room. i got PINK SLIP from Window 37 and paying for Air 21. i can't hide my happiness from then on and until now i am still in cloud nine. YahOoooo. Lets Party.. :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

Id like to say THANK YOU to all the members here who helped me in this journey. i learned a lot from ur experience and from ur post. Thank you sooo much guys. From whom i asked and talked with and who answered my confusions in this journey THANK YOU! You know who you are.
