I flew to attend the interview with Rhiz. The interview was scheduled for 7 am, we got to embassy at 5 am, they started lining us up at about 5:15 am in the front of the embassy, then started processing people inside at about 6 am. We were arranged with in embassy by the types of visa's work, k-1/k-3 etc. The was a woman who first glanced at the 156 and 157 forms made sure had those forms completed and with a pic on them. Was issued a number, but they do not necessarily process in strict numerical order.Then we waited and she was called to get finger printed, then waited a little longer and she was called to the pre-screening window, where she gave them proved off our relationship, I-134, 156 and 257 forms, etc. That took about 10 minutes they asked her he name, questions of how we met, how many times I been married, kids and ages. Then we waited a little longer and were called for CO interview. The man was very nice, and he asked me a couple questions about my career in law enforcement, asked her what she did when in Taiwan and then gave us back many pictures and emails and cards we had given them and told us we were approved. We waited a little longer for window 37 and got the pink slip, p[aid air21 to deliver and were out of the embassy at 0845 am with pink slip in hand. I am amazed about the amount to people the embassy processes each and every day. They are very organized, had people directed to different windows etc, and very efficient. The assistance was helpful and pleasant. The most important thing I believe is just to have all the documents they require. Provide answers but make them brief and to the point.
We made it, we got the pink slip and then the visa was delivered via Air21 in Cebu City in 3 days, so it was all very good for us.
