If that doesn't work, PM me your email address and I'll forward you the photos that Ate Luz sent to me (that goes for anyone who wants copies). :star:

BTW, Cora, you look so elegant and beautiful in the photos! :star:

Ayayay! Thank you, Steven. I knew the other ladies were half my age so I tried my best not to look like their grandma hahaha. 44 years old <ouch!> in case you got curious.

Ok, maybe that explains why I am unable to see some of the photos posted here. The images were uploaded on sites that are restricted by our office Admin. Is that a correct assumption or maybe I'm talking nonsense again hehehe. Oh gee, I'm so dumb hehehe :blush::content:

Thanks for posting the link, Steven. Luz sent me some of the photos too. Thanks also Luz.

Hi vic&el, we hope and pray for your early release from AR prison.

Good luck oakwell, Mike&Jennie and 2hearts!!! We will eagerly await news from you tomorrow.

I'm going home now. Good night!

PW there is no way I believe you are 44! I was looking at all the pics and was guessing you are 27 or 28. :yes:

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

SFO will be Yazi's POE. She's flying on PAL. we were able to get first time immigrant discount. I booked thru LBC Travel. When they asked if she was Philippine Passport holder, said yes, coming here on K-1. they gave the first time discount. not sure if any other airlines offer the first time discount.

aawwww... you make me blush :blush::blush:

A positive attitude in life, good sense of humor, counting our blessings, enjoying every minute of our life with our loved ones and friends, avoiding the sun, and cleansing and applying moisturizers daily help in delaying signs of maturity. And yes, :secret: sexercise works wonders too :wub:

I think this thread needs to be upgraded from GP to PG18. :lol:

A question for someone who has been through this- Our interview was the 15 (thursday), monday was a holiday so when should I expect to see delbros get our visa from the embassy? I am hoping that the web site will say so today. Am I being overly optimistic?

Filed: K-3 Visa Country: Philippines
Timeline
A question for someone who has been through this- Our interview was the 15 (thursday), monday was a holiday so when should I expect to see delbros get our visa from the embassy? I am hoping that the web site will say so today. Am I being overly optimistic?

I think it depends on where you live in the Philippines. My wife had a Thursday interview (January 25, 2007) and received her Visa 7 calendar days later in Cagayan De Oro. By the time the Delbros website updated to show "visa released by embassy to Delbros" and "Visa out for delivery", she received it the following day.

PW there is no way I believe you are [##]! I was looking at all the pics and was guessing you are 27 or 28. :yes:

Me too... I can't believe that you are ## years old. You look great and I'm sure that your fiance is a very proud, happy, and libog na libog man! (hehehehe) - Cheers!!!

aawwww... you make me blush :blush::blush:

A positive attitude in life, good sense of humor, counting our blessings, enjoying every minute of our life with our loved ones and friends, avoiding the sun, and cleansing and applying moisturizers daily help in delaying signs of maturity. And yes, :secret: sexercise works wonders too :wub:

I think this thread needs to be upgraded from GP to PG18. :lol:

:thumbs::thumbs: very well said sister.. :yes:
