Hi to everyone. whistling.gif

This is just an update a good news for me and I hope for everyone here as well.

Just this morning, I received messages from DELBROS saying that mine and my son's visas are for delivery which starts tommorrow up to the next 2 days. kicking.gif

I think this means that if [maybe] not some of you will receive that same message, it could be in the following days. good.gif

Good luck to all of us guys!

Indeed, patience is a virtue. yes.gif

I was one of the luckiest because during my interview, the releasing counter in-charge told me that they already have the result of my doc verification. I paid on April 28 and Robbie said he forwarded it to NSO on May 5.

I am expecting to receive my visa soon smile.gif

Congrats Riza! I guess swerte swerte lang talaga yan. It seems that the ones who paid early are the ones waiting longer than the ones who paid later than them...

anyways, hope we get our visas soon...

Hi Kenneth,

Thank you. Yes the same procedure too coz during my interview i've met also applicants from ir1/cr1 and some who are petitioned also by their parents and some petitioned by their children. It depends also what your pre-screener -to-be will ask you and also on which consul you will be interviewed.

Good luck. Just an advice when you are already there, while waiting it will lessen your worries when you are chitchatting, then you will forget the tension and nervousness. Haha, that's what i did. Good luck.

QUOTE (SHAPE OF MY HEART @ May 13 2008, 06:40 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hello fellows,

Finally, i'm done with my tension for now. I had my interview at USEM Manila yesterday May 12, 2008. Arrived before 6:30am and my first fell in line at security to enter the embassy, where they posted IR1/Cr1/K1/K3 Non-immigrants visa applicants. It wasn't long line there compared with the other two lines (for other applicants). There were different lines also for "seafarers", that's probably the some people said who had had previous interview at USEM where they said we should arrive so early. But there's nothing to worry about that. Those long lines were different from us.(who has scheduled interview at the consul).
At this security check, he asked for my appointment letter that embassy sent me, i told him i didn't receive any packet from USEM, what i have was e-mail appointment letter that they sent us right after I scheduled my interview, i told him briefly this is what i showed also in St. Lukes and the guard noticed that there's St.Lukes marked on my appointment letter, he just uttered "hindi co yata alam yun ah, ok cge patingin nalang I.d mo", i showed him only my postal i.d, and he let me in.

(Hey guys, don't bother anymore to bring your cellphones or any gadgets, because there is really no way you can store it in USEM, though there are this outside people who will charge you P200 for you to give them your cellphones and you will be given by number for you to claim it later. Well , this people are not working at USEM. It's up to you guys, either you entrust your phone to these outside people and pay P200 for them to keep your phone while your still inside the Embassy or just leave your phone in your house, for me i didn't bring my phone, i just left at the hotel.)

At second security, the guard asked again my appointment and i showed him and he instructed me to window 3, it's where I put all my things to their x-ray machine for security check. After this, the guard instructed me to embassy pavillion. (geez! this was a wrong instruction he gave me, been in pavillion, fell in line for almost 40 mins and when i was almost finished at the line, when the staff checked my ds156 and ds157 he said, ma'am You should be at the immigrants section. There were few of us also in K3 and K1 there who got wrong instructions from the guard from the window 3. So, the staff told us to to go to immigrants section. When we got there, there were many people already, wow, just because of that wrong instruction.Those some applicants who were scheduled for 8:30am were ahead of us already. But it's okay. It's past already.

Ok here's the steps i have done yesterday inside the Immigrants Section. (don't worry guys we won't be going to different floors here, its only in this Immigrant Section big room that everything will happen from the 1.checking of ds forms, 2.finger scanning, 3.pre-screening,4. consul interview, and 5.delbros- payment of visa delivery, unlike in St. Lukes different floors to get all things done so we won't be needing back and forth from time to time at USEM.)

1. GIVING NUMBER. Fell in line to window _ , they asked 2 sets of ds 156, 2 sets ds 157, and appointment letter.(Since I am K3, i didn't have the DS156k, for K1 you will be asked for this). After the woman check mine, she gave me number, this number was important so don't lose it. I then took sit again at waiting area.
2.FINGER SCANNING. From the window where I gave my DS forms and appointment letter, its here where we will hear if our names will be called already for Finger scanning. When i heard my name i went to window _ for Finger scanning.(if your palms perspiring just make sure you dry it before you put it in the finger scanning machine, don't worry also, there's staff here that will assist you and hold your fingers for the scanning.) After finger scanning, i then took a sit again at waiting area.
3. PRE-SCREENING. My number flashed at the board and the window where i will go. I then proceed to window _ for pre-screening of my docs. Here, the guy only asked to give him first: NSO Birth Certificate, NSO Marriage Certificate and NBI.
After he checked what i gave him, he then second asked me again to give him the following; Affidavit of Support (134) W2s, and Tax Transcripts. ( i gave him 2005,2006,2007 W2s and 2005,2006,2007 tax transcripts, Affidavit of Support and Employment letters.) After he checked it, he gave back the employment letters to me.
* with pre-screening here i was asked, (my pre-screener was a handsome gay and he seemed nice)
-who is your petitioner
-when is his birthday
-what's his work
-how i met my husband
-when i first met my husband in person
-how long he stayed in Philippines
-what date exactly he got here in Philippines
-when did we get married
-how long my husband stayed in Philippines
-were you married before
-were your husband married before
-do you have kids
-does your husband has kids

The third he asked me to give him were pictures. I gave him pictures, of me and my husband with my family and with his family. The pre-screener then asked "Is your husband a muslim?", i answered "No, he is not, he is american.", by flipping the pics, He also commented , "he is still young and handsome like you, you two are meant for each other." I said "thank you sir", and then he asked me , "have you experience to travel abroad or international flights", i answered "No, not yet Sir."and then he gave me some advises about nothing to worry about , it's important that i get a good sit at plane so i will be comfortable with the flight. I said "thank you sir for that tips". Once again he looked at our pics, and then i asked him, "do you need anything or any proofs Sir?" and he said , "No, this is enough already" , "Ok, you can go back to your seat and wait again for your number to be called. Thank you", I answered "ok sir, Thank you po."


At the waiting area, i sighed and i felt something a bit upset because they never looked at my evidences, i brought so much of our proofs and evidences that weighs almost 7 kilos, geez! until now i have back pain for carrying this.


4.CONSUL INTERVIEW. I couldn't say i have had a friendly consul, unlike others had. What i had was a tall American woman with i think in her 30's with very short hair. I greeted her "Good Afternoon", she didn't greeted me back though, she just said "have a seat." She asked me the same questions what my pre-screener asked me. Plus she asked me some additional questions. She even told me "i think you need to be grilled", then she smiled. She also gave some comments, "So you were 23 or 24 when you met your husband". i answered her, "i am 23 when i met my husband." She asked me, "what did you like most about him?", I answered, "He is so thoughtful, no matter how busy he was he always finds time to give time to me even when he was still in Afghanistan. " She then uttered, "oh he is a Military" , i said "Yes Ma'am".
Then once more he flipped our pictures, and she said "i think everything is all fine."

Then she explained brief about the document verification. She asked me if i paid for it, i said yes i did. And she said, The USEM requires document verification so to make sure there are no fake marriages or no fake identities to all applicants. She then said "Ok, i think everything is okay now. You will need to wait for your name to be called once again for one last time." And i said "thank you Ma'am", and she said "thank you"

I then took a sit again at waiting area. After few minutes my name has been called, i went to window_ and the girl gave me back the appointment letter plus the instruction to pay the Delbros visa delivery.

5. DELBROS Visa delivery payment. They gave me form to fill up for visa delivery and i paid P400 for delivery fee, i put my address in Bataan is why P400, if only Manila area it's only P250. (I saw some someone from Cebu she paid more than P500.)

Finished before 12pm. And was so tired and exhausted because of too much pressure the past few days. The first days of my mens period came the morning of my interview, because of the nervousness i felt i think. haha.

At 5pm i met Relyn at MOA and check the possible place for Eyeball meeting. Will be posting about the infos at the eyeball thread.

Thanks everyone.

PhilippinesManila Embassy Interview/Visa Status
A# and I-94#:

just making sure guys since i'm now filling up the I-485 forms:

the A# is the one found in my VISA under my US citizen fiance (now husband)'s name, right? it starts with A followed by 8-digit numbers (as in A########). It is also the same as the number found on top of my name in the NOA2.

the I-94# is nine digits followed by another 2 digits (there's a space between them): ######### ##, right? do i include the last two digits or just the first 9 digits.

by the way, is there a manila thread for AOS? it's easier to ask questions under the AOS forum if you're talking with your "kababayans"... wink.gif

thanks!

Question on AOS application:

Hi, we got married last Friday October 26 and we are again in the process of filling-up the forms for the AOS application.

My problem is: I am pregnant. When i had my medical exam at St. Lukes last August, i was already 15 weeks pregnant and therefore did NOT receive any vaccination as it would be harmful to the baby.

I'm now 5 1/2 months pregnant and still couldn't comply with the vaccination requirement. How do we go about this? Can we still file AOS and have this requirement waived with the condition that i will get my shots soon after i give birth?

HELP! We're hoping to file our AOS application this November. helpsmilie.gif

Do i need to handcarry these photos, etc. for presentation at the POE or do i need the brown envelope only?

i don't know why they did put me on AR...because i have everything they might be needing during my interview...maybe i was just a victim of randomized check. You can't predict what's on Consul's mind....anyways, what's done is done..all i have to do right now is just to wait like those were on AR jail.

here's my AR story:

thanks for asking..

hi everyone!

count me in! i'm on AR jail too because of their routine check at NSO. We did call USEM twice and the recent update was..they already file a request at NSO on very same day i was placed on AR.

Goodluck to everyone and God Bless...

Hi:) Why were you put on AR? What's with NSO.

maybe recent as 1 or 2 months...yeah i agree with u...getting a copy via online is very much expensive but we can have it at our convenience. We don't have to suffer too much crowd at NSO office and less stressful. and like you, i all got my copy thru online.






hi rea! BC and Cenomar doesn't have expiration...but still CENOMAR needs to be recent prior to ur interview.

anyways, welcome to VJ and to Manila Embassy interview thread. :D
