My Interview Experience - USEM - February 6, 2014
5:00 - I walked from the hotel to US embassy - 5mins walk I think, I rented a chair for 30 pesos, we were waiting near the footbridge outside the embassy. While waiting I chatted with some k1 applicants. There were vendors selling cigarettes, ball pens, coffee, some were offering to have 2x2 sized pictures if you don't have them yet. There's also a small canteen inside the embassy.
6:15 - k1 applicants were called to go near the tent we were instructed to prepare the DS-160, appointment letter and passport, d greeter gave me a ziplock bag where the passport will be placed, she asked me if I'm pregnant (I don't know why she asked me that) I said no I'm not pregnant, she placed a sticker on the back of my passport which has my name, and barcode number. There were lots of people already, you will go through the X-ray machine, remember no electronic gadgets allowed, you will go out to another door that will lead you to the ticketing booth, there are 3 windows and I got my queue number 6119. The lady didn't stapled a small paper that has a list of all the requirements to be presented later on, a friend of mine had a small paper stapled in her queue number. We were instructed to go to door #2 if I'm jot mistaken.
Went inside door number 2 (I think) another security check.
Sat down and waited for my number to be flashed on the screen. The numbers showing on the screen was random. The funny thing was, number 6120 flashed on the screen d lady went to window 34 I said to her "my number didn't flash" so I followed her to window 34, I was behind her and the Filipina officer asked "who is she?" I said I am number 6119 ma'am and she is 6120 and I said to myself "omg I just remembered the number shows up randomly". Lol. So I went back to my chair and I kept looking on the board/screen for my number to be flashed. I was having crossed eyed. Lol.
7:40 - My number showed up on the screen, 6119 window 53 for biometrics. The American officer asked my number, my full name and date of birth and then took my biometrics. The officer told me to sit down and wait for my number to show up on the screen.
8:20 - My number showed up on the screen - 6119 Window 43
Filipino Officer asked me for the ff:
1. Passport
2. Birth Cert.
3. CENOMAR
4. NBI Clearance (with USA VISA purpose)
5. I-134 Affidavit of Support
6. ITR - 2012
7. I gave some documents to support the I-134 from my fiancé
8. Visa fee receipt (the officer handed me back the other copy).
Filipino Officer asked me the ff questions:
1. Where did you meet and what year?
2. What site did you meet?
3. How did your relationship start?
4. Have you been to another country?
And then the officer asked if I am related to Mr. So and so who is teaching in UP because we're the same surname. He asked me if I need interpreter for the final interview I said no Sir. Then he told me to take a sit and wait for my number.
11:10 - My number showed up on the screen - 6119 window 66
American Consul told me to raise my right hand and read the oath.
The American consul asked me the ff while scanning our I-129F package:
1. Where did I meet my fiancé and what year - I answered the American consul - I met my fiancé thru Friendster in 2009
And then he gave me a pamphlet about domestic violence abuse.
2. How old is my fiancé
3. How old are my parents, I answered the American Consul - he then asked "isn't it weird?"
- I answered the American consul truthfully that it's not weird for us and my parents met him already and they always talk on Facebook and Skype etc etc. lol
4. Who is (name of the person), and why her name is on the money order - I answered him " xxxxxx is my fiancé's daughter etc etc... But I didn't answer it right about why her name is on the money order. Lol. The American consul told me 'that's not how it works in the US"... I just said to myself ok sir.
5. If my fiancé did petition someone years ago
The American Consul said Okay take your sit and wait for your number. I responded okay Sir thank you very much and have a good day, he says thank you, you too.
11:25 - WAITING
12:00 -1:00PM Lunch Break
2:00 - My number showed up on the screen: 6119 Window 71
The guy asked for my number and said "you're okay, and asked Home Delivery po noh?" I said Yes Sir, and he handed me my appointment letter I gave before entering the US Embassy, he encircled the HOME DELIVERY on my appt. letter and there's an IMMIGRANT stamp and he said "okay you can go home now".
Lol! I think I was approved.... ? Lol!!

*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.
