hi asmeen! do you fall under K1 too?

Godismystrength, are you sure no G325a form? kinda weird on how they able to process your papers without the form and your pic. But you had your interview already so don't worry about it anymore. When we will have the visa? hmmm.... personally I really do not know. But I am hoping we will get it before November. Do you have a halloween custome waiting in US too like PingLocalHostess? lol just kidding. Seriously, maybe you'll have yours before I do, since I have a son(K2). they might need a longer time to scrutinize my papers. I am just trying my best to be patient throughout this crazy process.

guys what happened to our get together in Manila? i am now starting to hate weekends. For me it means 2 days will pass with no work on our paper. hayyyy...

-rhea

hi jamesnrei inlcude me naman oH!!! dv paid sept 3, dv to nso sept 4, interview oct 3, category k1, still no visa. .thanks

[DEDixon 39]

hi STEPHnRIA,

ako din ganyan attitude ko now, enjoy time with family and enjoy the privileges we have here, korek ka dyan--the maids, lutong bahay, spa, salon, friends family here...ako, i spent time with my nieces in different amusement parks, etc., arranged for my insurances, bank arrangements, my condo and other bills that will still go on even im away...

i used to be an executive in one of the multinational pharma companies here but my husband requested me to rest for now because he knew im so into my work and couldn't leave it so, he got scared that when the visa arrives, i'd tell him that i have to finish my commitments pa kasi i've done that to him before in some other instances (he even told me that i value my work commitments but it seemed like i value less my commitment to him)...plus, he thought that visa will be in as soon as the interview's over coz that's what his dad told him (naku naman, yung info ng dad niya eh sometime more than 10 years ago when his dad petitioned for his stepmom)...my inlaws were already emailing me regularly because they couldn't believe that my visa isn't in my hands yet, medyo nagdududa kasi naman si hubby sinabi nya na halfhearted ako sa pagalis so akala nila tinatago ko lang sa kanila yung visa...and i had to explain about the DV and all...

my family here already decided that they'd be celebrating thanksgiving and christmas in the US, so mukhang ako pa na may asawang US citizen ang maiiwan...so ironic noh? napamili ko na nga lahat ng bilin ng ate ko na nasa LA, in short, nagawa ko na din naman lahat....

this is really a tough time for all of us, testing stage ika nga, i just believe that everything happens in HIS time and that's the perfect time....

let's hope we hear from the embassy this week...keep us posted...

God bless us all!!

My fiancee called the embassy today and he spoke to Grace. No developmet on our case...its still pending. DV is not there yet. Two weeks ago, when my fiancee called, we were given the date of OCTOBER 9th for any news or development. And now they told us that it might take.... UP TO TWO MONTHS from now on. Aren't we just so lucky that its this time wherein there are new sets of consuls. Their real problem now is the backlogs they have....6,000 applicants waiting for their papers to be resolved....and only few agents to look at them. Looks like it won't be a merry Christmas for me and my fiancee...

I was so depressed this morning after hearing this update BUT I got over it as of this time. Pretty fast huh? I think I only have two choices right now...to be negative or positive about it. And I chose to be the latter. From now on, I will focus on the things I should do before taking the plunge... I will focus on spending as much time with my family and friends here, saving money and taking care of the things that will help my marriage and my life in the US easier. Remember, its recession in the US and I should be thankful that Im doing great here in Philippines. When I get there, I will lose some privileges that I enjoy here....credit cards, vacation trips, maids, drivers, secretary etc etc.... My fiancee is with me in this one...he will focus on his work, preparing the apartment and on being a better man for me. Gotta be really busy so there will be no time to get depressed.

We really can't do anything right now but to wait and also make follow ups. Guys, I know its hard but its also only us who can help ourselves. Let's be strong about this. Did you all notice that Philippine forum is so quiet? Like almost all posts are all about feeling bad because of waiting for visa. Unlike before, all you see is "VISA IN HAND". This too shall pass... (right PW?)

A little consideration for those that don't know Tagalog please. Remember, this forum is read by Petitioners who do not know Tagalog. Thanks.

Sorry DEDixon, its just us venting about our visas taking too long to be released. If theres anything you dont understand, feel free to ask.

Hi jettyglenn! maybe you'll have your visa before we all do since you had interview this month. But still welcome to the club.

DEDIXON hello! pardon for the tagalog parts here. When we Filipino starts to be furious and feel strongly about something we start talking in our native tongue. It's hard to vent in English. lol

Bevs, OT for the employees in embassy? maybe only the martyr will do that... like you said let's hope next week will be a good week for everyone.

PingLocalHostess, don't you ever sleep? you are posting a 3am??? or davao has different timezone now? lol

Happy weekend guys!

[PingLocalHostess 1]

jamesnrei: I went out... and i couldnt sleep. I think im the only one in a different time zone hehehe. *giggles*

[jamesNrei 0]

oh your body is getting ready and psyched up for TX timezone!

[PingLocalHostess 1]

I guess, coz im awake when Matt's awake. I bug him a lot. Hehehe

Oh i found a new game . Is your son into computer games?

[jamesNrei 0]

nope, he just turned 3. he only has v-tech toys, a mini laptop. i am amazed he can use the mouse and play with it. and he can manuover the touchpad on my laptop to move the pointer and click video clips on youtube. he only watch video games he hasn't figured it out yet.

[PingLocalHostess 1]

jamesNrei: It just hurts leaving those behind coz most of them are a tad bit expensive . My brothers are shooing me away so they can have my stuff. Even my friends too, they're like all over my shoes and clothes... "are you taking these?". I didnt even leave yet hahaha.
