Hello guys. Just wanted to drop by and say that after a long wait since NOA1, my wife is finally here in the US with me.

I went home to PI on the 23rd of this month and both me and my wife travelled together to the US on the 27th.

I only stayed for four days in the Philippines but we managed to finish everything we needed to get done.

Tintin had her despidida party on the 25th. CFO on the 26th, and had dinner with friends and fellow VJers Mhay_Stewart and Chris@Seattle on the 26th.

We arrived at LAX on the 27th 8:00PM. Our flight was smooth and on time. At LAX, me and my wife went directly to the US citizens and Residents line. After waiting for a few minutes, we were called to a window. The consul officer looked at our papers and told us to go to the "New Immigrants" window which is at the very very first window even beyond window #1.

We went to this new immigrant section and we were lucky that we were only # 2 in line. After a few minutes, the consul officers called us to come forward. He took both our passports and the packet from the embassy. (They did not ask for the Xray). He gave my wife a couple of papers to sign, took her fingerprints and told us to sit down and wait.

We waited for an hour. We were getting nervous because we didnt know whats going on. People kept coming and the line is now horribly long. There were many of us now "waiting".

After an hour, an officer called me and my wife's name. The officer gave us our passport, gave my wife a "welcome letter" and told us that her SS card and greencard should arrive in the mail within two weeks.

That was it! :dance:
