Chuck, how few? :) ... I tell you, during the hot summer in Saigon, nothing beats the heat better than being with Loan and a group friends over beers at a air-conditioned karaoke lounge :) ... hahah ... I drink only Tigers whenever I am in Saigon. That is my favorite beer.

STL_HCM, sorry to steal your thread like this but your ordeal is over. It is time to celebrate.

I used to be indecisive. Now I am just not sure ...

I miss my STL Budweiser! :yes:

STL_HCMC

I have a good old Bud here for you guys. Kevin, wanna join me for a few? :lol:

Hi Kevin&Loan,

Did you throw Loan's name into the post so we wouldn't think you were enjoying cold tiger beers with friends at a nice air-conditioned, low-lit karaoke om? :P

STL_HCMC

Hi Anh map,

Thank you!

While your sitting on your NOA1 now, I remember the day like it was yesterday. In due time you'll be looking at the packet 4 instructions and remembering back to the feelings when receiving your NOA1, NOA2, NVC letter, packet 3 and finally packet 4.

Enjoy the ride and ask many questions!

STL_HCM...Congrats on the wonderful news!!! Thanks for posting the notes on the interview...PINK is the color of the day!!

Hi Everyone,

I forgot to mention that it appears our co-sponsor wasn't needed afterall. When my fiancee picked up her passport and the infamous brown envelope, they also gave her our complete stack of co-sponsor information back. They returned the original photos that I included in the I-129F petition, and also the USPS label from the envelope I used to mail the I-129F petition back in December. Just thought I would pass that along for reference purposes.

STL_HCMC,

I want to wish you and your fiancee all the happyness in the world.

Being from Missoura myself, St. Louie that is, Is that your final destination with your fiancee? The reason I ask is because the summer in Missouri is not much different than the winter in HCMC and the tornadoes are a bonus.

Just for the other folks reading this post, We Missourians have a little saying, Show me!, Show me the pink :yes:

Hi Bruce!

Thanks for your post! Appreciate all your help through PM's.

Your right, the summer isn't much different than the winter in HCMC...err...wait....the winter in HCMC? :blink:

I don't think there is such a thing as winter in Vietnam - at least not in Sai Gon :P

Sai Gon has two seasons...(1) hot season....(2) really freaking hot season; with an occasional daily downpour sprinkled in during number two!

Thanks again Bruce! :yes:
