QUOTE (mommysgirl @ Dec 26 2009, 11:38 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Thanks for the replies! smile.gif

The requirements needed for the interview is stated in the Appointment Letter. Other than that, all of us must have everything on-hand. Bring original copies and some photocopies of it (just in case) wink.gif


Here are my checklist: (As researched on the net and from people who underwent the same experience)

- passport
- appointment letter
- 2x2 pics
- birth certificate
- marriage certificate
- divorce decree (for some cases)
- military records (for some cases)
- CEMAR or certificate of marriage from NSO
- police or nbi clearance
- AOS, W2s, ITR
- proof of genuine relationship (pictures, phone bills, call cards, snail mails, emails, chat logs, etc.)


If I miss anything, please feel free to add tongue.gif

My appointment will be on the 4th of February, 8:30 AM. Do I have to be at the US Emba as early as 5AM? Thanks! wink.gif

Hi guys!
I got approved..my interview was really short..but I had to wait for that long...I got up at 4.30 am and left home around 5.30 am..took a lil' while to drive and waited at the parking space. I arrived the embassy around 7 am..then the prescanner called and asked for the documents like emails, and phone bills only. The rest were in with the packet DS-230. Then I had to wait until 9.45 am
The CO was a girl..she was really nice..the brought up some questions like
1. how did you meet your husband?
2. When did the frist time we met?
3. When we got married?
4. When is our son's BD?
5. What does he do and where he's at now?
That's all for the questions...very shorts...
Last but no least, thank you for all support and helped me get through this process...and best luck for everyone who is going to have upcoming interview
Cheers!

My husband's second (hopefully last) interview is tomorrow at El Salvador. This 2 part interview is crazy!! Everything seems to be in order but I'm still nervous wacko.gif . Hopefully tomorrow afternoon I will have great news to report. Good luck to us all. Blessings! wink.gif


I assume his appointment is at 12pm. They begin forming the line to enter the Embassy at 11am. If he's at the front of the line he'll come out around 2:30, if he's at the end it will before between 5 & 6. We got there at 10am and where number 14 in a line of about 40. My wife came out at about 3.
To sum up, tell your husband to get there early and stay in the front of the line!


Thanks, Abiding! His appointment is indeed at 12 pm. I talked to him today and said he is actually planning to be there like around 9:30 to 10 am to see if he can make it in front of the line. The lady at the embassy told him to be prepared to be in there at least for 4 to 5 hours but hopefully he will make it to the front of the line. If not, I'll be here eating my fingernails until 6 pm waiting to hear from him ClockWatch2.gif wacko.gif

It was quick and painless. The Filipino who pre-screened me asked more questions than the CO. The final interview was fun and very light convo. He was very nice and made me feel at ease. He even talked to me in Tagalog. He was impressed because I had the NBI with my mispelled name. Questions asked were:

-Husband's name
-When and how did we meet?
-His occupation and degree
-When he saw my Dubai PCC, he asked what did I do and how long did I stay there?
-How many people attended our wedding?

**then commented on our honeymoon pics in Baguio with butterflies at Butterfly Sanctuary, Camp John Hay Park.

Then he typed something on his PC and said the magical words "Your visa is approved".
Thanks to all who have helped and answered my questions during the process especially at NVC. It was a long, torture, stressful, depressing and made me eat a lot journey. Finally, it has come to an end. Well, not really the end because I still have yet to receive my visa. To those who will have their interview, it's not as scary as many people thought. As long as you're "real" and you have all the documents to prove, everything will be fine. Goodluck to all and Congrats to those who were already approved.

Good work!..Congrats!! good.gif
