Wow, Friday already? That's fast! :)

Glad to hear you will all be reunited soon.

Thanks everybody. We are from the Cape Canaveral where they launch the space shuttle - about 5 hours from Tallahassee (hehe - but my wife lives in Farmtown/facebook.com) . The CO told us the visa should be delivered by Friday - really quick - soooo - we are happy and excited both my wife and I feel like we have had a big weight lifted off our chest - even though we felt like our approval would be easy.

Hello All:

My wife and I attended our interview this morning in Manila - we dor our visa !!! Thank you so much to everybody in Visa Journey for your wonderful resources. The whole porcess was very easy. The pre-screener was a little stearn - but - the consular officer was extremely nice, polite, and made us feel very comfortable. The CO even apologized for the bureacracy of the immigration system and our wait (9 months). He asked about my wife's birthday - the kids birthdays - made sure we had the right kind of visas (CR1 vs IR1) and we were approved.

My wife will fly to Florida in a few weeks as soon as I can fly back to escort her to Florida - we have 3 children flying with us - so it is always controlled chaos. Anyways thank you everybody and best wishes to all.

Hoot n Dolly

CONGRATULATIONS!!

Hello All:

My wife and I attended our interview this morning in Manila - we dor our visa !!! Thank you so much to everybody in Visa Journey for your wonderful resources. The whole porcess was very easy. The pre-screener was a little stearn

That's So Funny.

I watched the Pre Screeners last year, they thought they were working for the FBI / CIA and trying to investigate to uncover fraud.

Kinda Funny, They started asking my wife some stupid questions like: When was the last time you saw your fiance, and I was standing right beside her.

After a few more lame brain questions to my wife, I asked the wanna be American behind the counter, Why do you have to ask such silly and stupid question, I asked her to please wrap it up.

:lol: agree.......
