The night before the day of the Interview I was busy printing all the emails and a few chats from ICQ since I wanted to be prepared just in case it's gonna be asked from me. I left home at around 2:30 AM because I wanted to be the first one in line as much as possible and I was LOL!

Bad news is that we have a storm so it has been pouring while the people were standing in line soaking in the rain argh! Anyway the gates opened at 6:30 and all the immigrants set for interview (including Fiancée) were let in.

We all submitted our appointment letters at Window X although it was not open yet, and when it did the person assigned at that window gathered all the letters and after a few other windows opened, they started calling up each applicant.

When my name was called, I proceeded to the window where my documents/requirements were to be submitted. The person asked me too many IMPERTINENT questions... the nerve! LOL! He obviously asked a lot than the consul who did the interview. Again, THE NERVE! LOL! A lot were sent away if they're papers are not complete like if the affidavit of support was notarized and if they didn't have the 3 years income tax of the petitioner. In the case of Fiancée Visa applicants, you would be sent away if you have not paid the $45 visa fee which should be paid at the appointed banks of the US Embassy or if you don't have the NSO Single Status.

Since my documents were all arranged, well and complete; I was told to take a sit and wait for my name to be called for the interview. I met a lot of Fiancée Visa applicants there and we were all chatting and showing pics of our Fiancé LOL! But when the consuls started calling for interview we all fell silent and started freaking out LOL!

I proceeded to the consul who called my name. The interview started at exactly 10 AM. The consul looked so friendly and he was a real nice guy! Here's how the interview went...

Consul : Hello :-) have a sit please... ( I noticed he was reading and checking all my papers including the ones we filed at the INS for the Fiancée visa application and all other stuff my Fiancé submitted)

Ana : Goodmorning :-)

Consul : You must be very cold :-) (noticing my still wet hair from the rain lol)

Ana : Yeah it's really pouring outside! :-)
