Hello to all,

I am writng to let everyone one know my journey is complete. My wife made it here last night. The plane was an hour late from manila but made it to Las Vegas safely. She was one of the last ones out, so we had to wait over 30 minutes to them to get out of customers. But at last she is here.Good luck with everyone still going through the journey. :dance::dance:

Welcome to the USA to your wife & congratulations to both of you for finally being together! I remember the feelings when I stepped foot here in the Sin City almost 5 years ago. There was the feeling of happiness and relief :)after that couple years of being in a long distance relationship with my then fiance, now husband and the pretty exhausting visa journey. Goodluck and God bless you both! Which part of Vegas do you guys live? I am from the Northwest part.

We live in the central part of town, just one mile from her relatives house, so she will not feel too homesick. She is doing ok adjusting to the time, but sleeps till 1030am-11am. PM me and maybe we can meet up so my wife can meet some filipino friends since she will most likely be out of work for a while because of the high rate of unemployment.
