Hello guys! my hubby's interview was just 4 hours ago and im so happy to inform you that he passed!!!
here's what happened according to him:
interview is at 630am, and he arrived at 5 but he had to wait for the parking lot to open at 515. he was waiting in line at around 530 and there were a lot of people already there. The guard announced that people fall in line according to their appointment times. He was inside the building at 6am. Once he was inside, he got a # and he waited for a few minutes, afterwards his name was called for fingerprinting. after that, he was waiting again, after 10 mins, his number was called and there he met the pinay prescreener who was not cheerful at all. she barely looked at my hubby and the whole time her eyes were glued to the paperwork.
PRESCREENER'S QUESTIONS:
- what's the petitioner's name?
- how are we related? - she is my wife
- how did you meet your wife? - she was my highschool classmate
- how did the relationship start?
- when did your wife go to the U.S. - hubby said 2004 to migrate then prescreener said " no, the first time she ever went to U.S." - hubby answered 2000 (wrong! that's actually 2nd time, first was 1996 when i was 14 hehe- it didnt matter that he was wrong though, she let it slide!)
SHE then asked for pics and letters and was told to sit and wait for his number to called.
NUMBER FLASHED and he needs to go to Room 27 -consul time!
The consul was a very friendly american who was smiling and very good mood when she saw my hubby!
CONSUL EXPERIENCE:
consul made my husband swear to tell the truth then questions time:
- what's the petitioner's name?
- what's your relationship with the petitioner? - she's my wife
- have you travelled to other countries before - yes, when we went on our honeymoon!
- have you or wife been previously married to others before - he said NO! (hubby wanted to show cenomar or marriage cert but she didnt want it!)
- when did you get married - july 2007
- do you have kids? - not yet but she is now 4 months pregnant
- when did you last see each other? - last august until september
SHE then returned our pics and my hubby i still have some more here and then consul said the words that made us truly happy - " NO NEED, YOUR VISA IS ALREADY APPROVED. CONGRATULATIONS AND GOOD LUCK WHEN YOU GO TO THE STATES!
she then told hubby to wait for his number to be caled for visa delivery instructions! Hubby was so happy that he said thank you like 5 times and the consul was happy also! He then went to pay the Air 21 fees.
He was inside the embassy at 6AM and left at around 8:15! What a wonderful day!
Sorry its a long story!!! hope everybody will get the PINK too!!!
