2nd step..accomplished!

My request for a US Visa was approved. It has been bugging me eversince I scheduled for an interview online last October. I asked myself what if Iwon't be approved? But I chose to stay positive despite of some negative thoughts about it.

Yesterday, I arrived at the US Embassy around 5:50 in the morning. When I got there, a long line of applicants was already formed. My schedule was 7:30am and by 6:15am, some of us were inside the Embassy having gone through the usual security check and presentation of some documents. We were fingerscanned and after that, waited for our interview at 8:00am. The consul who interviewed me was male and he looked nice enough than the one who was serving  Window 5.  While seated and waiting for my turn, I was observing the applicants being interviewed. I was actually relaxed the whole time since I've been in different job interviews before though this one was different.

My turn came and I was queued to Window 8. I greeted the consul 'hi, good morning.' He asked me, 'how are you?' I replied, 'I'm good.' Got that one from Suby (Suby thanks!) Generally, the interview went well, he didn't ask me to show him any documents at all. He asked me if my brother is a US Citizen and told him 'he will be, on April next year'. I kept on leaning forward to the Window since I really can't hear him well. Then he asked me how much my monthly income is (I didn't expect this question, actually), so I told him. He asked me how can I support myself in US with my income, I said, 'Oh, but I have my own savings' (got the OH from Taj hehe..joke). The interview took 4 minutes only based on my calculation then he handed me the yellow paper which says that 'your visa application has been approved.' So I proceeded to the pavillion to make arrangements for the delivery of the passport and the Visa, then I went home. By 10:30am, I was already at home.

I'm glad that I'm through with it already 'cause now I can make plans on what my next step will be.
