Visas Approved - Family on its way!!!

[rouguewave 7]

Just a short note to check in and post a summary of recent events. I was over in Philippines for the holidays, arriving Dec 20 and just departing Jan 5. During that time honey ko and I were able to process all required medical exams (her and 3 kids), we had the interview on Jan 4 at which point they were approved for the Visas.

Everything went reasonably smoothly, although there are some stories and notes to post on the forum when I've recovered from the Jet Lag. She told me yesterday (last night) that she has picked up ALL the visas and was getting the requisite CFO stamps in all the passports. We've already got tickets purchased for flights for them to come over to the US this weekend. She has packed up the house and has moved to temporary quarters in Manila to wait for that, while the kids are saying a farewell to the ex and his family.

By this sunday (1/13) they should be arriving here, where I'm ready to receive them and we're all excited to get started on the next parts of our respective lives and journey's.

More to post later, but for now I wanted to post this and say a huge THANK YOU to all who participate in this forum for the contributions you make to make the journey a little more tolerable. Thanks.

Hello! This is kinda late response. Congratulations on your visa journey. I would say yours is one of the successful here, considering your there were 3 kids required for medical exams. I found your time line when I was reviewing the batch of visa releases. Majority of visa release are from May and June filers, with some from 1st week of July. From your timeline, you got an early interview date and fast visa release. Again, Congratulations and Good Luck!
