Embassy Review : |
***Note*** St Lukes only took one day. I got everything done the first day and didn't have to go back a second day. Security guard said they want to finish in one day
*Interview Experience*
....after security checks and bio metrics.
First Screening was with a Filipina Consul
Her mood was normal and she doesn't look strict. She's pretty She smiled a lot coz I cracked a joke in regards to my Terrible US Visa photo taken outside St. Luke's that is attached to my Medical form.
Questions Asked
* Name of the Petitioner
* Address
* Birthday
* When and Where did we meet
* If he is divorced, How Many Times
* If he visited and met in person, when and where
* My name and Birthday
* If i traveled abroad, where and how long
* She also verified my Address, Email Add and Cell No.
Documents Asked: NBI, CENOMAR, PASSPORT, BIRTH CERT ST. LUKES MEDICALRESULT (BROWN ENVELOPE) . She also asked if we have photos together. She checked our photos..Told me that I have a pretty photo album, I told her that I got it for 60 only pesos in National Bookstore lol then she Smiled then handed it back to me and told me to show it to the US consul.
After Oath Taking it's time for the American Consul. While falling in line I was able to hear the Us Consuls questioning the applicants. I looked at their faces, Most of them looked nice and friendly so I was not nervous at all. When It was my turn, I got to the window and greeted the American Consul Good Morning! He said to wait for a second coz he needed to get our packet. I waited with a smile on my face. When he got back, His mood was pretty plain. He didn't look at me. He was so busy checking my fiance's packet and his computer. Then he looked at me again.." POKER FACE". I smiled but started to get a lil nervous because he looked serious but still Grace under pressure !
Questions Asked: So, what are you gonna do in the US?
* Name of the petitioner
* Address
* When, Where and How did you meet
* What does he do for a living
* His tasks at work
* If he is married before, How many times?
* When did he got divorced
* How many kids does he have, Age.
* If we met, when and where
I was able to confidently answered all his questions consistently! Then he paused, checked again his computer and the copy of our packet (they have their own copies). Then he handed me a Domestic Violence Pamphlet. He asked me if I know what to dial If there's an Emergency, Then I said "Yes! 911! then smiled at him. he didn't smile back
Then there was a sudden silence between the both of us.. awkward! :D
He looked like he's done with the interview and i was just standing their waiting for him to announce the result ( just like the other consulars ) but he didn't! :/
Then I had to ask him if I passed.. Then he said yes, You're good to go!
Then I giggled and said Thank you so much! but then as usual he didn't smile back lol
Documents asked: NONE
Walked out the window with a smile on my face,
So yeah, based on what I've read, the Filipino consuls are the one who's really serious to grill you with series of questions and the US consuls are the one's who are nicer and will only ask you 3 to 5 questions but I was wrong. Do Not assume! Not all consulars are nice. You should come prepared! Know your fiance very well from his past to present. Look and dress smart! Trust me their's an impact if you look presentable! Especially you should sound confident with your answers! Your consul might not be as bubbly just like the the other consuls but if you will be able to answer all their questions consistently without stuttering and pauses, then you'll be fine! |

*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.
