Hello all! Please allow me to share my joy with you! My CR1 visa has just been approved! And, guess what?! I was the one who posted about having no CENMAR or CENOMAR three days before my interview. Well, I was not asked for it! Yehey! I was only asked for our wedding pictures and that was it!

I'll be sharing my interview experience to you in a separate post when I get back home. I did not bring my laptop with me. I am only renting in an internet shop near my sister's apartment where I stayed. I am just too excited to tell you AND THANK YOU [/color]for all your help, your support & your encouragements whether directly or indirectly through the questions you posted which helped me answer mine, too, the replies I received from you and the replies you have for others posts. (Special thanks to canadian_wife, OBX, MMW, abby_norm1 and the rest who frequently replied to my querries. Sorry, I can't remember all of you.)Thank you, really. VJ is God- sent and so are the VJers!

I regret, though, that I did not check in a hotel nearby. I could have met the other VJers aside from abby_norm1 who told me that there are 4 of them in the same hotel. Anyways, maybe we'd see each other in the US na. :whistle:

I know my husband will be reading this. Thank you my husband for being very supportive and helping me to go through all this. I can't wait to live my life together with you!

Lastly, but most importatantly, thanks be to the Lord Jesus Christ who answered ALL my prayers regarding my visa. First, my mistakes (and they are numerous) in the filling up of the forms did not get me into any trouble in the visa processing. Second, my case was transferred to CSC and so it took only 6 months and a few days for my visa to be completed. Third, I had a chest xray before my medical which was read as pulmonary tuberculosis. I took meds but which gave me allergy. The allergy brought me to another MD who said the chest x ray (that was read as PTB) is actually normal and I have to stop the medication. So I was inspired to take the medical at SLEC earlier. The chest xray at SLEC was also normal. (Truly, God works all things together for good to those who love Him and to all who are called accdg. to His purpose). Fourth, I learned only about CENOMAR 3 days before my interview but again was not asked for it today. All these, I was able to overcome through Him!

My prayers go with you who would still be having your interview. May the blessing and favor of the Lord be with you!

I'm the hope that lives within him after storm clouded days.

The freedom from war that gives wings to his heart,

May they reach across the miles and bind our hearts together

against all that we must face in this world.

Thanks, raeka. I never thought someone would be inspired with my boring post. Your reply only encouraged me more (and i hope it would to others, too) to keep on posting & sharing our experiences because we'll never know when we'd be able to help others or inspire others unknowingly through our posts. God bless.
