Could you hear Coyotes there too? I bet you hear Coyotes everywhere you go. Peek-a-boo...I see you. I wonder why the OP never posts on this thread anymore. or Maybe she still does.

Hello, there! I see you've been here since Dec 2012. You must be married by now. :dancing:

Not quite. I have been with my fiancee since 2011 and I started her petition in Feb of 2013. In October of 2013 when she was interview ready she headed to her medical. Unfortunately she tested positive for TB. She had to do the 6month DOT. We just got her 90 day medical clearance two weeks ago. We are now just waiting for the interview schedule at USEM to open. I see you are local CA as well. Sure is a warm beautiful day today.

Ngat po.

Good to know your fiancee is ok now.

If you've been reading the threads on appointment schedules, you'll see how difficult it is to get one. It took me more than a month to land an appt. So... Good luck. Lots of patience and perseverance. Don't worry. You'll get there.

My fiancee is from Northern California. Yes, good weather and its ideal. I've been to the east coast twice and I couldn't stand the cold!

My parents are originally from Catanduanes in the Bicol Region. I was born in Metro Manila, but spent my high school years in Catanduanes. Now my family is based in Quezon City. My husband is the USC, born in Oroquieta City. He spent his childhood in Cagayan de Oro until his family migrated here in the US many years ago.
