Wife is on the way back home to get her visa since she passed interview. It is waiting in Negros Occidental in which Air 21 tried to deliver once already. But my wife was still in Manila at the time. I tell you, I am not very happy with the Manila Embassy. Why they didn't wait on her interview and re-schedule at that time since my stepchild had some medical issues is beyond me. There is no way in hindsight that I would have thought to ask my wife to take this responsibility. Because that is what I was told by a official at the embassy. That they have no control over issues like this and basically it is really up to us to try to re-schedule. My wife did not speak up at the time because she either wasn't thinking or she just did not know. I tried to be as thorough as I could about this whole process, but this one slipped passed me. I did not think about it either.

So now the clock starts ticking on my wife's visa while my stepchild undgoes medication to clear up her lungs for the next time she goes to St. Lukes. Most likely in about two months. My wife originally told me six months, but found out that is in severe cases and two months for mild cases.

But if it goes past six months, my wife's visa will expire and I will have to request a replacement visa in which will cost me another $400.00 + the medical exam for my step child.

So I thought our journey was coming to a end here, but it looks like it's going to go on for sometime. I am sure I will get some flames here, but this is the way I see the situation in which occured in our immigration process.

Martin, please do not lose. Your immigration journey will not stop here. Sooner, you, your wife and your stepchild will be reunited again. I know it's frustrating but just hang on tight, it's hard financially and emotionally but if you and your wife support each other everything will be fine.

Thank you for your kindness. My wife is going to pick up her visa either today or tommorow. It has been sent down by air21 and they told me when I called them last night that it is waiting there for here when she gets back from Manila. I told them to hold off until Fri there to give her enough time to get back home and be there when they try to get a hold of her where she live.

take care,
