Consulate Review: Manila, Philippines
Review Topic: K1 Visa
Review Date: June 19, 2009
Embassy Review: The consul who interviewed me was very nice He was very courteous and polite – no problems at all! He spoke Tagalog very well and that made me feel at ease (though I opted to answer all his questions in English). The interview was nice and short. He asked for my name, my birthday and the rest of the questions were about my fiance: what he does for a living, how we met, how many times he’s been to the Philippines, when we plan to get married, if we’ve ever been married before, if we have kids…and then he apologized about the long and stressful process with the petition and visa (my heart stopped!) but then he said, “Your visa has been approved!” Oh, I was so happy!! I could’ve hugged him! I will be forever grateful – I will pray for him everyday for the rest of my life (may he find/have happiness, success, health!!!)!
Now we’re just waiting for my passport/visa to be delivered. ^_^ I will get to see my best friend, the love of my life very soon <3 I can’t wait!

Port of Entry Review
Port of Entry: Detroit
POE Date: 2009-06-27
Got EAD Stamp: No
Biometrics Taken: Yes
Harassment Level: 0
Comments: The POE interview was pretty quick. I was asked about my fiancé and our relationship; how and when we met, how long we’ve been together. The man reminded me that we have 90 days to get married and that we should file for AOS right after marriage, within those 90 days – though he said technically we just need to fill the requirement of getting married, he said it would be better for me if we filed within 90 days. Then he asked me about stuff that I would be bringing in to the U.S. – I only brought clothes and toys which he said were ok. He stamped my passport and attached the I-94 Arrival-Departure Record and sent me on my way to baggage claim / my connecting flight ^_^
