Well, it has been a long time since I post on VJ. We were busy preparing for our second round and this time WE GOT PINK. It was a long road for us and lots of bumps and holes but we did get through. My wife will be picking up her visa on February 28 I believe she said. I was too happy to even remember the date and of course, she try to trick me and said that "everyone else get pink but I get blue". My jaws drop hehehe but she did caught me.

It is 2 years+ for us to get Pink and we did manage to get through. Keep your heads up everyone and be patient.

Thank you all very much. The reasons why they denied us was: No Engagement, Wedding on the first trip, Benificiary doesn't know about where I live and what I study. Which the No Engagement and the Wedding on the first trip I admit but the other reasons was b.s. Anyway, we got through so you guys can too.

Good luck to all who are in A.P and those who are getting ready for an interview. Be Confident and use a Lawyer to save some gray hairs.
