Hey guys,

I just filed this month of october and i've received my NOA1 dated oct.20th. although i'm a little familiar with the process i would like to hear from the couples that have gone through it. From their days with the NVC to the medical in SLEC, dealing with the US embassy in Manila and finally to the interview. What should I expect? any tips on getting through smoothly and what not? I just want to see or feel how it will be once my husband and I are in that final stage.. Thanks in advance. God Bless :)

Well it does play its toll on life to have to wait through the process.. BUT good things come to those who wait, right? :thumbs:

Our process has been smooth, in between the times we were waiting for NOAs', an RFE, and things just waiting to get approved, we kept our sanity by pretty much skyping.. Now we are at the end just waiting for the Interview. All i can say is paperwork paperwork paperwork.. any questions let me know :)
