â–ªï¸US EMBASSY INTERVIEWâ–ªï¸
June 27, 2019 6:45am
Arrived at US embassy with my daughter at around 6:20am. I saw the guards asking people with 7am appointments to line up. I skipped that & was immediately directed by the guard to line at the counter where they check applicant's DS160 (first page only) and passports which they placed in a plastic, bio page at the bottom. The staff asked me to do the same with my daughter's passport. Then asked me to go to line 3 which was quite long.
Note: Always have your DS160 on hand since they ask for it at every stage.
At line 3 the staff puts a sticker with a barcode on my DS160 form before you can proceed to security check.
Notes:
- The code starts with a letter which will dictate in what section you will be seated once you enter the building.
- Make sure you don't bring any mobile device, gadget, charger, food or drink to avoid any hassle and delay at the security check
- For your convenience, place your documents in a transparent envelope so you can easily see where everything is and get it out when needed.
From security check you can now go inside the embassy, once you enter look for the section (the letter on the sticker on your DS160) where you should be seated to await your turn in prescreening. A staff will advise when your row of seats can stand in line for the prescreening counters.
~Prescreening Interview: Counter 39 ~
The Filipino interviewer asked for my DS160 & our passports. Then she asked for the original copies of my Birth Certificate, NBI, Cenomar and Medical exam result from SLEC.
She asked me to state my full name and date of birth. Then she proceeded to read the information on the following which I just had to confirm by answering yes or no:
* my daughter's name and bifth date
* name of my petitioner
* petitioner's home address
* petitioner's date of birth
* How did we meet?
* if he had previous marriages & how many
* if I was previously married
* if I was married to my daughter's father
* Petitioner's work & where
* If I work
* Have I traveled abroad? Where?
* When was the last time we saw each other?
She then stated my complete home address & mobile number & advised me not to change it to make sure I receive communication from the embassy. She also confirmed that I brought our photos together?
She then instructed me to proceed to finger scanning counter where the line was again long, around 35 people in line. So we were asked to be seated. If you are near your turn you have to be vigilant so others who don't know any better won't get ahead of you & you cant tell them there's a line.
At the finger scanner you put the 4 fingers of each hand together and press them firmly on the scanner, then the thumbs together. After this, you can now fall in the long line for the interview by the CO.
~ Final Interview: American Consulate inside the room (pretty American woman) ~
I can't recall the number of the counter but we were lucky to get the roon which affords some privacy and we get to have seats unlike the others who just stood in front of the counter.
CO asked my daughter and I to raise our right hands and swear to tell the truth
, etc. She said hi to my daughter who just smiled and waved hello. The CO asked me to state my full name, date of birth, my daughter's name & date of birth. She turned to my daughter and asked, "Is she really your mother?" We all laughed a bit, and she quipped, "Just checking."
Questions asked in no particular order:
* Name of my petitioner
* Petitioner's age & date of birth
* How did we meet?
* Who introduced us to each other? (asked me to elaborate a bit on this)
* In what state he lived
* Where he worked & what he did for a living
* How old we both were
* How many times he visited?
* When was the last time we were together?
* How come it was that long since then? (he last visited Aug 2018 but I told her he will be arriving in July 2019 ) CO said, "That's nice."
* Has he ever been married before? Divorced? How many times? What’s the name of his ex wife?
* If he had any kids? How many & their ages
* How long were they married?
* Have I been married before?
The CO did not ask for any supporting documents. She said all the papers seem to be in order, handed me the pamphlets and discussed what are those about. She told me to wait for my visa after 2-4 weeks.
She told me to make sure I register my address via the website or calling the call center. Hopefully I get my passport and visa in 4 weeks or less.
Over all the interview experience was good, especially since we got approved 😜ðŸ˜
The long lines took a lot of patience though, and I was sleepy while waiting & got quite thirsty since I'm used to frequently drinking water. Anyway I just waited until we exited the building to buy bottled water at the only vendor at the embassy. Proceeds of the purchase (45 pesos which was expensive) go to charity. |

Timeline Comments: 1
*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.
