hi Lebases Girl... thanks you for all the wishes

i believe when a person is sooo worn out, tired to be alone... and just want to have her/his family to be together can write a book about meaningful words... full of comfort and full of passion.

that's where i got my strikes from... a tired, lonely, woman....a wife, and a mother waiting for just a piece of paper that they call a "VISA" which serves as a pass for a happy, healthy family.

i will try to wait for a month more since my priority date is JULY 27, 2007... SAMKUNLE was advicing me to wait for about 5 months coz to some people who requested too early had some delayed experiences since NVC will have to reject for requesting it far from their PRiority date... ill do that next month then.

i havent send my letter for my step-son's issue... you said i need his birthcert right? just that?

hi K&R ... shall i say you have maybe more or less a year and half of wait.. and mind you... time goes by sooo fast... i remeber YNA, one of our members in the thread was telling me to be very very busy with everyday's life and you wont even notice the time... well, long before im already busy with my life but i doubled it this time....

and also, they are already trying to process PD april 2007 for all the fees and all the documents... and yours is 2008. so give it most likely till november and you'll start receiving the good stuff from them. my priority date is exactly a year before yours and till now, all i have so far was the approval notice...

let's all keep hanging in there... im sure there will be a colorful rainbow after a heavy rain...

Hello my VJ friends. I have some wonderful news. My wife and son's visas were approved today at the Lagos Consulate in Nigeria. We are so excited and relieved. It's been an extraordinary and long journey as you all can relate to. I want to thank you all for your support and encouragement.

My wife said that the interview went very smoothly. It lasted less than 3 minutes. The consular officer barely asked her any questions. The CO only asked her one question in the form of a statement - "so you and your husband have known each other for a long time?". My wife said "yes, we have known each other for about 10 years now; we met in college". The CO then asked to see pictures. She looked at a few pictures, and that was it. She said "congratulations, your visa has been approved". She asked my wife to pick up the visas next wednesday.

My wife could not believe it. I can't believe it. All of the mountain of evidence that she took with her - email logs, phone records, bank statements, etc were not looked at at all. All praise to God for making this a smooth process. A

My wife will be arriving in San Francisco airport next week Sunday. I can't wait to be reunited with her. The journey has lasted too long, but it's over now. I pray all of you have a smooth visa process too like we did.

Thanks again for all your support!

Congratulations,Samkunle.I am optimistic that the good news will spread across the VJ community.We have a lot to share with those who had gone for their interview like the Mitchells, and Samkunle. We have a lot to learn from them.Now That your family is joining you, I wish you the best of familyhood.

According to Mitch ,''A family is but an earlier heaven''. A wise saying indeed.
