I arrived there around 4:30 am. The gate opened 5:30 am. The guard called the schedule of 7 am for interview around 6:30 and I went there.


1. They'll check your appointment letter and I presented my postal ID.
2. I entered at the check point for the things that I brought.
3. Need to follow the signage where should I go.
4. The right most window, need to submit the DS-230 and the appointment letter then they'll give the stub number. If they ask your passport, tell them that St.Lukes have it and you're done with the medical.
5. It took me almost 4 hours of waiting before my pre-interview.

PRE - INTERVIEW (I was assigned at Window 20) - Filipino Guy

1. They ask my complete name.
2. My birthday.
3. Who is my petitioner?
4. My address.
5. They look for my CENOMAR and I submitted my Marriage Index
6. Do you have pictures, remittances, call logs came from your husband?
(he attached my wedding pictures (4 pcs), remittances from western union recently, and our call logs with my documents).
7. I submitted also my NBI Cearance.

Need to wait again for finger scanning. They'll call your name so you should listen attentively.
Finger scanning at window 16. They'll ask your complete name and birthday.

3. how many years that I am married?
4. where am i going to live in the states?
5. she ask also if my husband is living with his parents?
6. How did we meet?
7. When our relationship started?
8. she ask as well if this is my first time to be out of the country if ever?
9. another question was if i have committed any criminal records?
10. how many times my husband went home here in the Philippines?
11. She ask what's my plan for my birthday? ten she laugh.
12. she double check my papers and ask to present more picture... I showed to her my wedding album and she's looking for picture before we got married and I said I didn't bring those pictures.
13. Then waiting again for her answer.

for almost 5 minutes:
she said: " O ANO APPROVED KA NA"...

Yahoo!!!!!She said again, need to wait for my name to be called for the instruction about my visa at window Y.


AND I SAID THANK YOU SO MUCH MA'AM.. I almost jump and shout there but then of course nakakahiya....

Went outside again, then after 15 minutes they called my name at Window 18.

The lady asked my complete name and my birthday. She gave my appointment letter and a delivery form for 2go for the delivery address of m visa.

Filled up that form and submitted that to 2go booth at the corner area. and went home.

I did not pay anymore because it's already a package according to them.

THANK YOU GOD..


Hope it will help you guys about this....


congrats

PhilippinesDoes your wife think the US is too cold ?

Just wondering after your bride gets to the USA if she has problems adjusting thinking the USA is too cold all the time even in normal temps.

My wife to be said it was "cold" a few times in phil and I was thinking I wonder what she's talking about because I can see in the weather report the low is like 70-75 degrees at the time.

When I was with her on Christmas in Mindanao I was sweating all the time as usual.. lol. One time at night maybe it was 70 or 72 and she said it was cold. I was wondering what she was talking about but sometimes we had the air con on in the room and I was a little cold but she was ok.

My Dad's friend married a girl from Thailand and the weather was a big adjustment thing to her even though she moved to Arizona.

I saw one guy here lived in Alaska and had pics of his wife in the snow and they looked happy as could be.

I'm just wondering from your experience if the weather was a big adjustment issue for your wife or if it wasn't much of a big deal... :)

hey my wife came to louisiana last august and still hates the weather here and she thinks it is toooooooooooooooo cold here, i wish i can do anything.lol.

PhilippinesDid anyone use this to send money to philippines?

We opened up an account and just transfer money to it and gave the family an atm card. xoom may be a little cheaper, but it is convienent and easy. Just a short time to tranfer money online and it is able to be pulled out there. Granted, the ATM fees are there, but not too bad. We just get charged the fees that the ATM charges in the PI and 1% international transaction fee.

Thank u

PhilippinesHow did u meet your fiancee/fiance/wife/husband?
QUOTE (ilovedo @ Sep 8 2009, 08:13 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hi.. This topic just came abruptly on my mind.. It is very nice to hear from anyone here who has met his/her "THE ONE or ONE GREAT LOVE". Guys, whats was the scenario how you met your partner? Do u believe them at first if they are true about their personal infos or anything about themselves? Do u also feel scary what if he/she is just playing games?

anyways, these are some lines how my partner and I met...

I met my special someone last year at overseas Filipino worker chatroom of Yahoo Messenger. Actually, I am not really personally inclined about using internet just for talking to somebody that I don't know. Then, during that time, i was having my Christmas vacation and got off from work for 1week somehow. Due to boredom, i tried to go to chat room which I really do very seldom before. Then, i have talked to somebody there. Of course, i cant talk to a lot of people that's why "Mr. Right" came when i was about ready to log off. Oh my God, I can tell you, We were talking 6pm until 3am, Phil time for our first time of meeting over the net. That was really a great feeling for me. We shared our personal information and we talked, talked and talked anything under the sun. As a result, we deeply fell in love thats why he did not mind loosing his sleeping hours just to talk to me and vice versa. Then, we met personally after a month of talking over the net and phone.

To tell you honestly, I was a bit scared when i decided to meet him up thinking what if he is not real and what if he wont contact me after leaving the Phils. But those preconceived notions were replaced of more love and trust when we spent our two weeks here. I was very happy and I must say now, I COULD NOT LIVE MY LIFE WITHOUT HIM. We have promised each other that we would love each other FOREVER NO MATTER WHAT..


I met here in filipina heart and i was the one who message her first then the rest is history and now we are happy together living in usa, abby n sheryl
