Praise God! Glorify His Name! We exalt and praise you our God! Thank you Lord! We finally got our NOA2 approval for our K3 visa application today! :dance::dance::dance::yes::yes::star:(L):dancing::dancing: Finally, after 6 months and three weeks waiting (206 days) since we received our NOA1 for I129F for K3 we got the email from the USCIS today! Yup! it took us almost seven months for I129f and almost eight months for I130 to be approved, the longgggggggggggggggggggg wait is over. My husband just called me today and informed me about the good news. He said he was taking a nap but for some reason, he got up and looked at his email and there it was! Yeepey! Yehey! Hooray! He even send me the email from the USCIS because at first I thought he was just kidding me but he said he will never make a joke about NOA2, because we've been longing for it to come in a long time now...my husband and I are so happy...God really helped us...now I can't even went to bed now...because I'm so excited up to now. Thanks to all of you guys here in VJ too for sharing your experiences that helped us a lot to be more patient(although I admit I was more impatient most of the time) and thanks to my loving husband who conistently encouraged me to be more patient and to always trust in God..thanks my love...I LOVE YOU SOOO MUCH! Hold on my love..I'm coming there..very very soon :dancing:

:wow::wow: CONGRATS :wow::thumbs:

when will be your interview date? Where? Nova if it will be in USEM in manila, theres a low rate hotels just accross the US Embassy. I suggest in Swagman hotel, nice and decent place for only very low rates and just infront of the US Embassy. ;)

Congratulations! It's really exciting to see people getting their approval.

I have one question though: once you receive the approval for K3 from USCIS, how long does it actually take for you to be able to go to your husband/ wife?

Thanks to everyone . . . sort of a tag-team response here . . . my wife is sleeping . . . on the other side of the world . . . I'm in the middle of the Pacific Ocean . . . as many of you are getting up . . . or maybe going to bed. But I just want to thank everyone for all their great cheer and well wishing . . . it has been a long ride so far . . . but getting closer . . . and it's at least nice to take this ride with all of you. It's been a year since I left on St. Patrick's Day to meet my wife for the first time . . . I know many of you can remember that first time :dance: And I know we will all remember when we are all reunited. please take care and God Bless all of you :dance::innocent:
