Morning everyone!

Sachi, welcome to US!!!!!

This past night I had a happy dream that hubby's visa was approved!!!!

Also got more evidence to mail to hubby. I went to India last year for his sisters wedding but I could not find the itinary anywhere & called Yatra & they no longer have it available. So I am emailing hubby a copy of my Indian Visa & passport page where its stamped when I visited India. I think thats even better then the Itinary.

Getting exciting!!!! 5 (almost) days left!!!! :dance::dance::dance:

Hubby's India to JFK ticket is purchased already.

It's been a year since I seen him...

wow a year tats! you guys are all iron women!!! i cant wait to see my wife and its only been 3 weeks! i think its worse when you recently see your loved one recently; just makes you want to be with them even more so...i'm sure your hubby will do just fine. my wife's going for her medical right now; they just called her in apollo. i'm sure she'll do just fine...

Just one more day before wify boards her flight. Been busy setting up my condo. I had collected so much junk over the years that I am throwing away boxes of stuff. But almost done kicking.gif .

Congrats Mrs. On getting the passport.

Goodluck for the rest of the interviews this month.

congrats vivek!!! too exciting to even mention. you deserve it and safe travels to your wife!!! :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs: my wife's doing her medicals right now. :whistle:

Once in awhile, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale - My beautiful wife Soni

Well I can't figure out how to embed this stupid thing, but here's some undercover video Merlaine took at her interview ;)

http://www.xtranormal.com/profile/2541341/

OMG OMG OMG, I can not even tell you on how many levels how funny that was!!!! Your wife has a great sense of humor! I love the reference to the 80 lb bag of evidence, I think you guys may be very close to the weight of our sachel that we're bringing! And I absolutely LOVE how Merlaine says, "But Sachi and everyone else of visajourney told me I had to bring all this evidence." Nice shoutout to all of us here. Much needed laugh, thanks Kev and Merlaine :thumbs::rofl::rofl:

I put that in there because I'd read a thread here where the CO accused the girl of that! He was badgering her and insisting that filipina heart was..LOL Yeh, if it's racy I think they automatically assume she's a bar girl, etc.

LOL You know K in my interview the CO asked me where I met Matt I said HOTORNOT dating website. he said HOTORNOT?????!!! Hmmm sounds weird and he smiled at me.. well anyways that is the website where I met my husband..

My POE will be probably DC or JFK. I really should call the agency and book our flights! I've been such a procrastinator!

Anyway, I wish I could go to Miami. I've never been there and definitely want to visit.

Don't worry about your interview! It'll be a piece of cake!

Kari-> How's everything in Bangkok? I read in the Brazilian newspaper that they are still having protest and everything. Hope it will be better by the time for the interview.

There's protests, looting, arson, protesters still fighting with the army even though their leaders have told them to go home, and a curfew between 9 pm and 5 am. Sometimes things have to get worse before they can get better (that's what I keep telling myself). At least Husby lives outside of Bangkok. I want to bring him home to the States today. They have 18 days to get their act together and open the embassy. Husby and I are talking about him just coming here as soon as he gets the visa in hand. Going to the airport from the embassy and taking the next flight to Japan and California. There are rumors of closing the country if it does decline into civil war. I want him out before that happens, if it does.

But! That's alright. I believe God knows what's going on and is in control.

So far May has been a great month for interviews and I can't wait to hear more of the same... Approved! Approved! Approved! Good luck to everyone left!
