YEAH, YUN NGA WE REALLY DON'T HAVE A CLUE ON WHAT'S THEIR BASIS...I KNOW. AKO NGA DIN PARA WLA KME SA SARILI NG ANAK KO THESE PAST WEEKS EH, IT SEEMS DAYS JUST PASSED NA HINDI NAMIN NAMAMALAYAN, EVEN IF WE GO TO THE MALLS, OR EAT OUT & WATCH A MOVIE. YUN BA MINANG SANDALI LANG UN NA NALILIBANG KME THEN AFTERWARDS VISA NA NAMAN TOPIC NAMING MAG INA.

I REALLY DON'T HAVE A CLUE, WHY OF ALL PEOPLE, AND INTERVIEWEES THERE EH TAYO PA ANG INABOT NG BACKLOG NA YAN.

ITO PA, REALITY CHECK, SYEMPRE MAY NAGING FRIENDS NA RIN AKO DURING THE MEDICAL & THE INTERVIEW DOON KO NA NA MEET, AND CYEMPRE WE EXCHANGED CONTACT NOS. EH ABA LAHAT ATA SILA NAKAALIS NA EH KAMI NALANG MAG INA ANDITO SA PINAS.tHIS WHOLE WAITING THING SUCKS!!!

TO THINK TAMA KA, WE HAVE WAITED FOR QUITE A NOS. OF YEARS NA THEN THIS PART NA NAMAN, I ALWAYS BELIEVE IN TURNING THE NEGATIVE THING INTO A POSTIVE ONE, PERO I CAN'T GET THE POSITIVE ASPECT IN ALL OF WHAT WE HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH DB?bAKIT KAYA WE HAVE TO WAIT THIS LONG NOH? I REALLY WONDER...

THE HARDEST PART PA EH MALAYO TAYO SA MGA LOVED ONES NATIN, UNG MGA NAG PETITION SA ATIN, HAY....

WELL I GUESS THIS TOO SHALL PASS SABI NGA NILA, AND HOW I WISH WE COULD ALL HAVE THE PEACE OF MIND OF HAVING THE VISAS ON OUR HANDS...

LET'S JUST CONTINUALLY PRAY FOR ONE ANOTHER.

AND P.S. BAKA EXTRA TIME NATIN NGAYUN NA MAGPAGANDA HEHE, MAG PA FACIAL, MAGPA COMPLETE BODY SPA, SAKA UNG MGA HAIR & DENTAL HYGIENE NATIN KSE DI BA EXPENSIVE MAG PA HAIR SALON & DENTAL SA U.S.A.? ONCE UNG SIS KO ONE SITTING NYA SA DENTIST COSTS HER $1800 EXTRACTION LANG ATA YUN, HEHE SO YUN MAYBE WE SHOULD GIVE TIME TO THOSE THINGS DB?

hi there "Minang"

I think we're on the same boat...coz my daughter & I were interviewed last Sept. 26, and I paid our DV's two weeks prior to the interview date.

When my husband called the USEM, He was able to speak w/ Lorraine & She told him the DV arrived at USEM last Oct. 28, and she even told my husband na OK naman ang DV results ko. I don't know abt. the "referral date" thing, and I'm also losing a lot of sleep & definitely tons of patience why my case is taking this looooong.

We were interviewed at window No.27(if my vision's not blurred bcoz' of the tension,and I really found the CO kinda pretty, smart & really accomodating.

Well Let's Just hope & pray they the Consuls, will give each one of us "wonderful" presents in time for Christmas.

In the meantime, they will Celebrate Thanksgiving...

I understand your sentiments for the reason they are also same with mine...So what I do is whenever I feel down I check the forums here in VJ and you know "it helps" to know that you're not the only one in this kind of dilemma.

God Bless...

mine still nasa CO but it's ok walang magagawa is just to wait.. CONGRATULATIONS to ALL who has their visas already

maki dance na rin ako sa cult visa dance hehehhe

Hi! I'm new here! I've reading all your stories and there's a lot of us who are waiting a visa. Calling Grace and Lorraine doesn't make any sense becoz ithere was one time i talked to Grace early 8am and she's insisting me to call at their call center then she asked me my case# and not completely satisfied w/ her. What i'm doing is to follow up my visa personally TWICE A WEEK at window X. Right there, they asks your case# and probably there's a remarks below the screen. Last Nov.3, she told me that my DV was there Oct.28 (i think that's good news), I came back Nov.5 and another thin lady told me that my case is for approval na daw kse wala na daw akong pending. Nov. 11 Monday, went to Window X again, it's so frustrating becoz it's still under review. Today Nov.13, still under review. I can't believe it! it's 7 weeks already of waiting.

Hi Grace! Ako din! I lose weight already, pumangit na din ako he he! You know we don't deserve this kind of dilemma, we've been waiting this for so many years, sana naman malaman ng mga consul about our feelings and emotions. I try myself to keep busy pero laman pa din ng utak ko is VISA! Hindi ko na nga pinapakita sa mga anak ko becoz they're the one whose affected, nag stop na cla ng school nila. I was just wondering, my twin sister was intrviewed Oct.14, kinabukasan may txt na cya from Delbros, we have the same petitioner naman, tinanong ko nga sa Window x, she told me that we have different case.

You know Grace, my sis jsut called up told me that the result of her kids tb test is positive, again they have to have an xray worth $45 each. Gosh, that's too expensive. Their test at St. Lukes is useless because in their school its a requirement before they accept a student.

I just wanna know if you've been to dentist already? or ok na ba lahat mga things mo?

forgive me guys but my OCness is overwhelming me right now and I can't help but to edit the list again. For easier referral, it is now arranged by the date your DV arrived the embassy. Based on trends lately this is the prediction who will have the visa next. But I might be wrong on this since it is still case to case basis.
