Woke up very early this morning to get myself ready for US Visa application. Heard that it would be difficult & tricky if you are born with 'terrorist' look :) Was told that different people will end up with different treatment and Visa validity dates. Just to make sure everything goes well, I have got all the necessary documents ready together with the very important application form.
Reached US Embassy at around 7 o'clock in the morning with my scheduled appointment at 7.40am. There were already early birds queuing up (I wonder what time they arrived, thought I might be the earliest :P), waiting to get the visitor pass to enter the big steel gate. Guess there are people who are really 'kiasu' that even they were one of the first to go to the gate counter for the pass, yet can't get any pass from the gatekeeper due to their late online appointment. Was lucky enough to book the earliest spot and managed to get the pass in.
Few stages to go through before I was interviewed. Firstly, full scan was done before entering the building. Then, another manual check by the guard in the building. Getting yourself a number then will determine when is your interview slot. With James Bond's number (007), I was interviewed by one of the officer and went through the shortest interview I even done. Benefited from Shell's renowned name, I was informed my VISA could be collected at the day after :)
Well, I didn't really go through the 'painful' process as told by some of my friends. It was a pleasant one for me, am so grateful with it! Now, I can see my next stop - Houston, US waiving the warm hand to welcome me~
