March 2011 Filers..

[RK_and_Inday 10]

@Looky, TJ, MatthewNCarolina, and all March Filer group/family/friends--

Giving all of you an update and asking for your continuing prayers and thoughts for Inday and myself, especially for the upcoming next two weeks. Assuming Philippine typhoons will not interfere with plans, Inday will be attending her medical exam next week and hopefully, prayerfully attending interview and obtaining approval the week after, on October 12. As I've mentioned to March filers previously (see http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/298495-march-2011-filers/page__st__1400__p__4861747__hl__tuberculosis+philippines__fromsearch__1#entry4861747) passing the the medical exam for applicants in the Philippines is a humongous hurdle and often not necessarily completed easily nor quickly. So the upcoming medical is a huge load on my and Inday's minds currently. Sometime next week Inday will also go to part I of CFO (Guidance & counseling Session) to "check off" that Philippines box/requirement. Then, hopefully the interview on October 12.

As for myself, in less than 12 hours I will be boarding a plane bound for the Philppines. I will be going there to visit with Inday during these next critical steps, being there to offer morale support and to help in anyway that I can. Also, in Manila embassy, it is not uncommon to allow US citizen petioner to be present during interview so I am hoping to be there at time of Inday's interview. In between attending to all the documentary and bureaucratic requirements, Inday and I are scheduling some visitng and relaxing time. So, whatever the outcome(s), I know she and I will get in a nice good visit.

Until mid-October or so, I will be giving my full attention and time to Inday, so may not be posting here on VJ for a couple weeks. We shall see. However, towards the latter part of October, I shall certainly bring you all up to speed on what surpassed during my time in the Philippines. Again, please keep Inday (and myself but especially Inday) in thought and prayer--it is very much appreciated.

And of course, wishing you all continuing good successes on each and everyone of your individual Visa Journey's!

Best Regards,

RK

@Dante & Geor--Hope you and Dante have celebratorius Oct 8th, "celebratorius" perhaps not being a real word but certainly conveys the meaning!

Lots of that! for sure!! Lol. And thanks for your good wishes! I hope Inday is doing fine with all the typhoons over there (heard in the news) and hope it doesn't change any of your plans!

Wow! Just realised that as I'm in the southern hemisphere and we are a day ahead, you will be on your way by now and taking the next step forward in your adventure. All the best with everything! You will be together and how exciting is that!!

Best wishes, and stay focussed on what is most important, you and Inday. Look forward to hearing of any news when you have time.

Wow, so much news going on.. Congrats to those having weddings this week, or already recently married!

Andie, I will let you know that in no way shape or form are you anything but a March filer... look at me, I filed in January, and in March and waited till May to my NOA1, but still consider myself a March filer at heart now. You always will be!

Looky??? heart lurching for you hon, what's the verdict??

Thanks Thea, Andie and all for your thoughts, I've mostly been sitting on pins and needles and trying to keep my mind off this stuff, she didn't make it to the interview. Been trying to contact her with no success. Today she was able to give me a ring on this international sim card phone I keep turned on. I called back on my regular phone but couldn't get a connection but anyway it gives me hope that she is ok and I will be able to talk to her on the weekend. I tend to think she ended up in the hospital or clinic as she was rushing to the interview. I did email the embassy last monday after they told me she didn't show up for the interview, I wrote that we would have to reschedule when I could get in contact with her.

I will keep you both, especially her, in my thoughts. I hope that you hear soon, and yes, rebook the interview, and keep us all posted. May you both be well, and together soon.
