Not only are you lucky to have half the VJ over, but you only have to fly HALF WAY as far as most! Congrats to you both, and here's hoping the AOS process goes very smoothly for you!

bebe13...Welcome to the U.S. ...Best wishes to you and your new family !!! :star:

I see that you picked up your visa at the Embassy. I thought the Embassy did not allow that any more. How did you manage to convince them to allow you to pick it up there?

thank you so much for the greetings :) im here now, after 2 days of jetlag lols

it was a long trip for me, preggy sitting for 11hrs with lots of turbulence ahahaha :)

@tahoma yeah i was surprise that they allowed me, maybe with my case, they approved my visa on the day of my interview, and after a week they called me to say my visa was examined again by the consul and needed additional documents, which is not good (coz we already booked flight lols excited) the delays made us frustrated and thinking it will took weeks to approve again the visa. my fiance talked to them and was very mad and he asked to send it via email not by courier :) luckily they said its ok :)

but thats not all, after few days they called again to inform me that my visa is on final process (printing)but they misspelled my name!! ahahaha! so again another delays.. so we had to call the embassy 3 times a day :) i asked them i want to pick up the visa (because i dont have time to wait for the courier and i told them i have to leave ph asap so i can give birth here in Hawaii). then the next morning i received a call from them and told me i can pick up my visa anytime at USEM:)

:wow: That's a great story! First, the Embassy allowed you to email documents rather than sending them via 2Go or submitting them in person! Then, they screwed up your visa, but they quickly corrected it! Then, they allowed you to pick up your visa at the Embassy!

Perhaps the most amazing part of the story is the fact that the Embassy called you...three times !!! :o How often does that happen !?! :lol:

:star:Welcome to America :star:
