First, I want to say that I love my fiancée more with each passing day. Every new experience affirms all that I love in her.

Secondly, I want to congratuate Johan and Anne, Kaye SWO13 for the approvals. Everyone else, I offer you all the patience that I have been blessed with that you too may travel serenely through this journey.

Thirdly, my fiancée wrote the Consulate yesterday and got an immediate reply. "Yes, they do have our petition. Packet 3 shall be sent out shortly, but no need to wait, go ahead and download it online." This is what we had already done, however it was comforting to hear that everything is moving along. My fiancée is waiting for my package containing the copy of NOA2, I-134, etc. to send back Packet 3. Hopefully everything will be sent back within two weeks from now.

Finally, I want to wish all of you a joy filled day. Many years ago a dear friend of mine said "It's never the destination man, it's the journey. It's all about the journey." Well folks, whether we just filed the petition, passed the interview, successfully obtained citizenship, or beyond, it truly is all about the journey.

Hello my fellow october filers just want to share my good news...i just had my k1 visa interview earlier and i passed...now i just have to wait 1-2 weeks for visa delivery. :dance:

Hi..janice here...i checked your timeline...and i didnt see entries on packet three thing...I got approved in march 4 this year..it left NVC in March 9...do i have to call embassy yet to set for an interview or should i wait first for the packet three toa rrive before calling to set an appointment? thank you.

Don't wait for any packet to arrive coz it might not arrive at all....yesterday march 11 was my embassy interview and when i got home i saw the DHL letter from us embassy manila telling me to schedule my interview and go for my medical. The letter was dated march 5 w/ usem letterhead, it was with dhl march 10 and delivered march 11.

Hi..WOW! You're such a big help! and CONGRATULATIONS by the way. That's what i figured out to do...to just do it all by myself! Well i almost have eevrything ready except for my fiance's form I-134 and the rest of the supporting doc's which will arrive in a week time...Now i got to really get started on downloading forms and filling them out. BUT I GOT ONE MORE QUESTION..Hope you can spare a few seconds hehe...ABOUT THE MEDICAL THING..im afraid they wont allow me to get in since i wont be having an appointment letter stating my scheduled appointment for medical..Any advice you can give me on how to smooch the people their? thanks ng marami!

Thanks. I hope you get some answers soon. :blush:

No they didn't make us wait. Only one touch and then the approval. I did get another one this morning, don't know if it is the hand-off between the Dept of Homeland Security and the Dept of State or just them entering the approval.
