Good morning,

I called the embassy (loraine)..finally got through after 90 minutes of attempts. Loraine said that our pictures had not made it out of the mail room yet!!!!!!!! She took our tracking number from dhl (litexpress) and said to call back tomorrow she would check on it. I'm disappointed....a week to go through the mail room? Hopefully with loraine checking it will speed it along to a consular to review so we can get our visa processed already....:) Still waiting!!

Mira is APPROVED. YEAH. We were not prepared for the number of people waiting to get into the Embassy. I thought we would be there all day. I was impressed by the way they moved applicants from one section to another and I was surpised that we were finished at 11:10am. Hope Mike n Jennie and 2hearts have the same news. Post more on the interview later when we climb down off cloud9. hehehe. :dancing: :dancing: :dance: :dance: :thumbs:

Congratulations and best wishes to both of you!

may tip po ba kayo kung anong magandang brand ng cleansing and moisturizers and puwede kong gamitin? :blush:

Sorry guys if we switch from visa tips to beauty tips for a while hehe. This is very interesting for us ladies :P

Pond's cleansing foam and Pond's deep cleanse cold cream are all you need to remove dirt and make-up. For astringent and toner, I use L'Oreal White Perfect or Ponds. For my night cream I use either L'Oreal Age Perfect or Lancome Renergie. The Age Perfect and Renergie line of products are for “mature” <ouch> skin so go for day and night creams that are suitable for your age. It is important to test first if the products do not cause any allergic reaction to your skin. Visit the beauty counters inside the dept. stores and use their testers.

thanks PW! itry ko nga :D:blush:

I apologize if this has been asked before but does it matter if Jinky answered on her forms that her POE would be LAX if in fact her plane does a stop over in a US Territory such as Hawaii?

Anyone? :unsure:

Hawaii is a US Territory? It's still a state last time I checked. :lol:

I know this has been covered before but I have no idea what page it might be on. Sheryl will go for her CFO seminar on March 5 and then medical after that. For the CFO counseling she will go to PRISM or SMECOW. Correct? And then once she has visa she will go to CFO building with her certificate to get the CFO sticker on her visa?

Yes. Jinky attended the seminar in Cebu - her home province and as soon as she receives her visa she'll go back to get the sticker.

Hi my sweety is at St. Lukes!

We would appreciate your prayers today as Lorna goes through the physical process.

We are concerned about her small cough that has been lingering. Doctor says its allergies and we are sure its not TB, but you never know what might happen at Physical (Right Rob?)

I can't wait for this part to be over :-)

Thanks and congrats to everone that got approved.

Also love those pics at the get together! You are all soooo beautiful!!
