Saturday, December 24, 2011
At last,DEC 19 loraine got her visa to stay long term in France. It said : 'family of a french citizen, and resident card to request within two months after arrival. Olalaahhh, olallahhhh, what a surprise... Tear eyed ako, Mama niya...

This is her timeline.

July 2007, denied tourist visa.

Nov 15,2011, applied family visa, mother as naturalized french.
Nov 22, 2011 interview.
Dec 19,2011, She was called again for interview by email.Bring daw passport.

Dec 19, she went to Pacific Star Building,16th floor French Embassy,10am:
Inside all applicants' passports were gathered.
Looong...
Wait...
Again...

Her number is 2. The Number 1 applicant was called: Visa denied. Iyak yung girl applicant.
Later,it was Loraine's turn... Appréhensively she approached the counter.

Consul: Miss XXXXX,since when did you applied for a visa?
-Nov 22 2011 Sir...
-Ah, here,(consul flipping papers...) your visa is....(loraine was in suspense, heart pumping in to her brain...)
-Ah, your visa is...(again suspense....) Wait, I cannot find it... please sit down...

(Loraine was praying (please,naman, consul, dont deny me, please...Mamaaaa, sumbong ko na sila sa yo maa....)
After 2 looooong minutes,she was called again...

-Miss XXXXX, your visa is here, and.....(another one minute flipping of papers in front of her in the visa counter, sus KADUGAY!) "Your visa is...."

GRANTED.

When do you want to go to France to join your family...
-Ah, what? Eh, Sir, I have the visa?
-Yes you have the visa. I will prepare it now, when do you want to join your family?
-Ah, sir, Feb 2012, sir, maybe first or second week?
-You dont want to join them these holidays?!(pagalit na tanong ni consul)
-No Sir, I cannot.Its okey on February.I have an interview pa kasi kay Boy Abunda!

(joke lang, di niya sinabi yun, hehe)

-As you wish.You may sit down, I'll call you again later.

After ten minutes...while sitting tightly on a chair,Loraine cannot believe it...visa na nga ba talaga to????

Later,Consul was back...

-Have a photo taken here,no smile,then fingerprint here....And sit down again, I will call you again.
(What a process!)
Laters...
-Miss XXXXX, here is now your passport, with visa inside,
YOU WILL BE SPENDING CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR ALONE! (pagalet pa,)
Have a merry christmas still!

(Inis ata, kasi pina na rush ko ang visa niya, tapos she is not flying yet? SHE IS a snob, hahahha ayaw pa lumipad!)

Going out, the guard asked her if she have it. She said denied.
-Why, you mother is french!!!! Let me see? Nooo, you're joking, you got your visa!!!!
Tawanan sila, hahahha!

At Buendia road to take a jeepney to the MRT, loraine hold her bag very tight as if it was her last chance, lol".Ba, baka manakaw pa bag ko, tangay visa ko!"

That was Dec 19.
