Catching Up : CFO Seminar Process

Ready for the final step?

I know that it can be really stressful for both you and your beau when you start the visa application process. The thing is - you still need to secure the CFO sticker and certificate even after  you get your visa. Come to think of it, it's all worth it right? You'll finally be with the love of your life!

The whole process was really stressful for both Alex Bear and me - there's the part where you need to secure all the documents from both of you; the waiting game; and the approval/denial of your petition/visa or CFO.

Yes, your CFO sticker or certificate!

It may not be part of the visa but it plays a significant role in your immigration.

Catching Up : The K1 Visa Interview Experience + Approval

The judgement day

August 6, 2015 - the long awaited interview. After all the struggles and the time spent waiting, we've finally arrived to the point where it will be decided.

Alex Bear and I were pretty sure that I will pass it - but then anything can go wrong. They might ask for additional documents (and who knows what they might come up with!), they might think this and that... the possibilities of "what if's" were endless... but the time has come.

The St. Lukes Medical Experience

Hello lovelies!

Today I'll be starting my updates on my experiences in finishing my US Visa application.

Applying for a US Visa (or, in fact, any type of visa) involves a lot of procedures. This usually includes taking a medical exam to prove that you are fit to travel and have passed the standards for that country. There usually are limitations such as infectious diseases, or one might still need to undergo treatments prior flying out, or any other reasons. All these factors vary from one country to another.

I have some knowledge  in applying for visas since I used to prepare documents for my crew in my previous job. US Tourist and Business Visas (B1/B2) are very different from Spousal and Fiance Visas, but they require the same medical exam for the interview. The requirements may vary for each time. In my experience, I will focus on the K1 Visa.

So, where do we start? Here's a simple guide and my own experience!

OMG! We're two days away!!

Oh hai lovelies!! ^.^

Finally we're two away from my actual interview at the US Embassy in Manila. The past few months have been quite stressful since we had to go through the final steps in preparing for the interview.

I have finished my medical exam from St. Lukes Extension Clinis (SLEC) last week and I will be posting more information about the experience soon. In the mean time, I'm having fun doing some document arrangements and scrapbooking!

[Keep your documents organized too and download our K1 Checklist Draft here ^.^]

You can bring photos in albums or just simply glued on paper or however you wish. I just like the idea of making a scrapbook (which I have to finish tonight so I can decoden it later!). Since I got my stock of rhinestones last week, might as well add some too!
