I Got USA Visa

Yesterday, November 26th, 2007, I went to an American visa interview. My appointment was at 8:00 AM. I arrived at the American embassy 5 minute to 8. It was a lot of people waiting over there already. They have different people at different time. They have at 7:00, 8:00, 8:30, 9:00, 9:30, 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, 11:30 to 1:00 PM.

When I entered, security were checking, bags, no cell phones or cameras. Practically, they were checking everything to ensure everything was right. After that, workers at American embassy were also checking people's papers. They want to make sure everything was right. Specially the size of the picture. If there's no right, they will send people to retake pictures. It is kind of work, but that is a procedure.

After they check my documents and they asked me questions, it is time for me to watch 20 minute video. In that video, they will teach you how to do when you go to a counter and see immigration. They also teach you how to do finger printing. They have to scan your fingers and check if you are criminal. I think that is for security purposes.

After scan your papers and finger printing, the last part was the interview. I was prepared to ask a lot of questions. When my turn came, they asked me only three questions. I was studying in the States before, so they must have my record.

I think I was very lucky. I got a very simple person who gave me visa. Now, I am so excited, I will go to Texas.

I was in MN for many years and I never go to another State besides, MN. I was in MN for my whole life. The only opportunity I went to Pennsylvania and LA for presentation. School paid me $500 dollars for that. That fee covers already plane ticket and part of the food.

My son, Alan was so excited that I got USA visa. We are going to Texas to see my friend Karla.
