Starstucked in the US Embassy!
I went to the US Embassy today to have my visa re-issued. My dad, mom and I went there earlier than my scheduled appointment. As we reached the first gate, the lady said that my dad and mom couldn't accompany me inside. I already got nervous, my hopes of them reissuing my expired tourist visa went downhill. (My case is rather complicated as I have a petition for an immigrant visa.) So my dad gave me a briefing of all documents he brought along. Imagine a big black attache case and me losing one of those important documents would make my life short. That's how imporant those papers were!
As I went alone inside the the building, I got lost. hahahaha! Oh well, at least I got lost in American soil! So I got my number, waited for my fingerprints to be scanned. Inside my head, I kept reviewing the pointers my dad told me earlier.
After an hour or so, there was buzz from everyone waiting and guess who I saw? KC Concepcion!! I won't deny it, I got starstucked!! I swear, she's so pretty even without makeup! She kept smiling and had this friendly aura. Some people went up to her to ask for an autograph. Any electronics are prohibited inside so no picture taking. Boo. She sat at the far side compared to me who was in the middle row. Martha and Louie, you guys were on my mind as I debated whether or not approach her! Hahahah! See the effect of having crazy starstucked friends!! But my number was next and I didn't want to miss my number from being called.
I got called and along the line for the fingerprint scanning, I met Lola Carolina who's was also applying for her visa to be re-issued. All her 3 children are working in the states and she plans to visit them this summer. It would also be her first time to see her grandchildren. We chatted for a while while waiting to be called by the consulate. The consulate called me, asked me 2 questions and yadda! My US visa was re-issued. Thank you dear Lord. Yey yey yey!! I could visit my mom this summer!!! California, here I come again!
woot!
In the Delbros section, where you have to fill up necessary stuff to have your visa delivered, I met Lola Carolina again. Her visa was also re-issued and like me, she was already excited to visit her children and grandchildren. I helped her fill up her form, gave her directions and accompanied her to the line. I just couldn't leave her. She's such a sweet old lady and I really have a soft spot for old people.
Outside my folks were waiting and told me a lot of applicants were denied. They were surprised that the consulate only asked me 2 questions. I guess, my charms worked again. Hahaha.
Anyone who wants to adopt me when I go there this summer??
