Tears of Joy at Interview: Visa Approved!!

[RK_and_Inday 10]

To all Visa Journey members,

We heard the magic words “Visa approved” on October 12. Now, with great anticipation, awaiting the printing and delivery of visa.

This post is firstly and foremost, a huge thank you to each and all the Visa Journey members who have provided us much helpful information as well as moral support all along the way of this roller-coaster ride of an experience. (Shudder to think how the experience would have been without VJ help and support. ) Secondly, we hope our good news will serve as encouragement to those still at earlier stages in the process. Yes, the waiting feels relatively long, sometimes even agonizingly so, but the feeling when the goal is achieved is indescribably wonderful and makes all the waiting worthwhile. Last but not least, our sincere wish and prayer is that each and everyone of you sincerely and steadfastly working towards your own goals will as soon as possible be able to experience similar feelings of joy and elation.

Again, many thank yous all and to you all the best of luck in each and every one of your own personal visa journeys!!!

P.S. For those interested in the actual interview experience itself, please see the review we have submitted for the Manila embassy along with the reviews of others. In short, we were over-prepared (at interview only asked were a few relationship questions, a few photos of us together requested, required documents submitted), and we would still deliberately do the same. We saw others denied for not even meeting the most basic of specified documentary requirements. Please be sure to use Visa Journey and other resources in order to be well prepared. –RK n’ Inday

Congratulations! Best wishes with the rest of the journey.

Congratulations to both of you and you will be here soon in USA enjoying life with you love one but for me the hardest part is when you in the airplane as like me.. I shed tears of joy but loneliness leaving my love ones behind..God bless

[RK_and_Inday 10]

Sucasa, Leatherneck, and RenCor--Thank you for the congratulations and best wishes! --RK and Inday

@Rencor and all others with similar sentiments: Yes, as with many of life's big changes there are the downsides along with the ups. We (Inday and RK) talked about the various possibilities and life paths years before even choosing to apply for K-1 visa, before even RK proposed. Yes, then and still now wishing there was some way we could both be simultaneously near each of our family members, friends, co-workers and all of life's seeming good situations. Yes, the goodbyes even now are bittersweet but we--trusting in and remembering our original decision based hopefully on wise choices and definitely based in faith on Godly precepts as best we know how and understand--we choose now to look mostly ahead and focus on all the bright sides. Yes, family and friends--all of whom are happy for us--will be sorely missed but they too see providence working in all our lives and give this recognition top priority as well. Understanding your loneliness about leaving love ones behind but hope you remember it is not the "leaving from" but the "going to" which is important. May the life with the one you love most of all be ever truly blessed and be often full of joy. --RK and Inday

Congratulation RK and Inday!!! You've conquered the most important hurdle and can finally be together in the US. The battles/hurdles never end but at least you two will be able to deal with them together and will have a new renewable source of strength within you!!!
