1.NEVER SLEEP FOR A WEEK...lol...kim says im a vampire..had sleepless nights and so much stress not bec of being nervous but bec of dealing some family problems....CALL UR ATTENTIONS HUSBANDS/FIANCEES U MUST ALWAYS THERE TO COMFORT UR PARTNER(Im not saying my mack didnt comforted me.... he had a hardtime dealing with me when i get stress plus looking after my sick mom-in law....Need ur prayers guys...i hope i can still see her once i get there..she's been in and out from hospital lately.
2.IMPORTANT! DS FORMS!....Make sure u filled up correctly.. my pre- screener was mean bec i forgot to X 1 box in ITEM #37(DS-156).Don't leave any question unanswered.
3.ARRANGEMENT OF DOCS.
a.passport, appointment letter staple with BPI receipt.
b.2 copies of all ds forms
c.NBI,CEMAR/CENOMAR,BIRTHCERT,MARRIAGE CERT(NSO COPY)
d.Scrap book of wedding pics and occasions we attended..with caption arrange by up to date. No need to put so many.Put pics that can capture the attention of ur pre screener and the last interviewer. I printed out our tattoos pics...that made my pre-screener smiled.and our pics wearing star trek uniforms captured the attention of my 2nd interviewer.
e.PRINTED OUT EMAILS,CHATS .,LETTERS AND MONEY REMITTANCES.I didnt had any remittances receipts as my husband gave me AAA visa card and credit card under my name using his surname.pre-screener ask for receipts but i didnt had any.she said its ok. but my dear sisters pls bring money remittances receipts ok.
f. OLD PASSPORTS. she asked me for my 2 old passports.
g.Bring along with u pen to write 2go slip.
4.ATTIRE.........Had my black slacks,black sleeveless blouse by marc jacobs,veeko black coat bought from japan,iceberg black belt,2 inches close black shoes, pearl earring and fashion necklace(from DV).AND APPLIED light DIOR ADDICT ULTRA GLOSS ON MY LIPS.BLACK HUGE BAG BY PRADA.
So here we go ,i rented a car from my place(san jose delmonte bulacan) to USEM.Left house by 4:30 and reach embassy by ard 5:30am.Upon arrival.I approached the security guard where to line up.He asked for my appointment time.stated time was 6:25 so he asked me to go front. waited there about an hour.It was 6:10 when they finally started us to get in.show ur passport and appointment letter with receipts.they will give a half size of 4a paper ..that is for 2go.u can fill that while waiting for last interview.need ur address,phone number,ur name ofcourse,case number.
first door...xray...ur bags and things..then pass through xray entrance..get ur things make sure .. no phone .no food,no electronic gadgets,sharp things such as scissors .
after xray ..u have to go through a door ...pull door and fall inline to get ur number ...u have to present ur passport,appointment letter,and ur ds forms.they wil ask what category is ur case ..speak louder with good diction para may dating ...lol.. u must be composed every time u talk to an officer.anyway ... after getting number u will have to drop to window 39. u will have to go through another xray ..checking of bags ..again ..open up all things..once they see electronic gadget ..they will ask u to out and clear ur things.pls to avoid delays make sure ur bag is clear ..dont bring unnecessary things ...Have a sit,wait for ur number to be flash on the screen.for pre-interview by a filipina. Depends on what she wants u to present.but basically, they will ask ur passport,appointment letter ..and it follows...kindly refer to arrangements of docs above.Most of them r mean,so avoid erasure,make sure all ur docs are neat. u have to photocopy al ur docs for ur copy as from my experience..they took all original forms except pics and letters.while the officer was looking for my docs..she asked me the ff questions..
1.what is ur name,date of birth,
2.R u done with ur medical? says yes maam.
3.how did u met ur husband.
4.when did u get married.
5.How old is he?
6.Does he have previous marriage,any children?how old?
7.What is his job.Where?
8.Do u have a copy of his passport ..i said yes....hint .,..u have to tell her where r ur docs located if she is searching for any docs...at my case i didnt let her search.Its an instinct ...if u know she is looking for something and cant search ..u have to tell where she can find.u have to know all docs that is only stated at the instructions....if ever sh ewill ask unnecessary cert..that i snot included in the list ..u have to answer back..at my case ..she pretended that she cant read my birthcert and she wants to see my other birthcert from ciy hall ..i said..maam ..i dont have bec its not stated at the list ..thats the time she look at me so mean... so whatttt ..its not bec she is the screener ..she can be always mean ... we r all equal ... she was asking me rubbish ...so i had to answer bck.
9.Money remittances?? i said ..i dont have..i only have aaa visa card and credit card... so i showed her... she asked for receipts i said ..i didnt keep i throw it away right after i get money from machine..she said .ok ..
10. showed her a copy of my husband's book...entitled BABYTALK.. husband purposely printedout a hard copy and dedicated it to me...she ask what is the story all about ...so ..u have to be smart ... elaborate... talk with eloquence ....with a beaming smile:)
11.Arrange all cards from up to date... tahts what i did
but the last interviewer didnt ask for letters. Done with pre-screening!
Next u wil have to sit down and wait for number to be flash on board
.they always execute finger printing at window 40...clean ur hands..must not be wet by sweat .first the lady ask ur name ..and date of birth...then left four fingers out thumb in.... leave it for a while till screener tells u ok.then the right four fingers out.thumb in...same thing wait till she said ok..lastly 2 thumbs position straight forward on the screen machine. she will let u know when u can go ...
The last interview...(white young american ..he looks mid 30's)
i greeted him with smile..looking at him directly to his eyes..lol.. in detailed talaga..anyway its very important.ur posture... HE had to fix mic bec i cant heard him volume was too low ... after awhile me if i can hear him properly i said yes....he started by saying ...SO UR MARRIED TO AN AMERICAN? I SAID..YES SIR MY HUSBAND IS BLACK AMERICAN ...
1.How old r u?ur husband?
2.Does he married b4?
3.have kids?how old? What does son do?
4.U have kids?any previous marriage?
5.how man times he visited pines?
6.Where did he stay?how long ..arrival in the Philippines(give date)
7.What is ur worked in
Singapore?How long?He asked for police clearance ..i said .... Singapore already ceased issuing clearance and told him i attached in my docs all emails from Singapore authority and USEM reply stating that Singapore clearance no longer required.
8.Any wedding pics?sponsors name ,if sponsors r related to me.He smile when he saw photos wearing star trek outfit.My brother in law edited one of our pics and put nice back ground of an office.He asked where is that place i said edited pics.He was amazed when he saw our tattoo pics...then he closed the scrapbook of pics and while handling to me he said ...ok ur approved wait at window 72 for ur last step.
LOL ..i dont know how i felt ...happy but not really extremely happy ..... will be totally blissful when i arrived home and finally at my husbands loving arms.
Waited for few minutes about 4-5 minutes then go to window 72,..gave me the appointment letter that i hand in earlier.then go to other window and hand in the 2go slip.I asked how long do i have to wait ...since they cant give exact date ... they said will contact u through text or call... i am trying to get my visa earlier she asked me to pick up at the nearest 2go center nearby my place...........
At 9am sharp i was done . reach home at around 10:30am .....
I HOPE GUYS MY EXPERIENCE CAN HELP U

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
