My wife's interview is next month. So, it seems that my Visa journey almost come to an end. For most people, they will stop visiting visajourney.com after their spouses get here. However, I believe in giving back, so I will visit this forum regularly even when my wife get here. Mainly, because I believe in Karma. If you do good, good thing will happen to you. So many people on this forum have helped me and answered my countless questions. So, I feel like it is my duty to do the same to new members for at least one year.

Well, this is my perspective. What are your opinion on this or karma? Why do you keep coming back to Visajourney even when your spouse get here?

Keep your marriage in good faith is a good way to honor our work.

Tell her the same thing. Although I imagine that can be difficult. Lots of folks wouldn't bother to ask their S/O to stop by and say "Thanks", much less hang around to chit chat. They (the beneficiaries) know what's the point of doing that once they're already here.

Long time ago, I said "An qua, nho ke trong cay" (remember the people who planted the trees when you eat the fruit), and some former folks in here laughed. If your theory about "Karma" is right, those people will soon know who's "actually" laughing once their S/O got their hands on the perm 10-year GC.

Just remember, life over there in VN is NOT real! Your money will be worth a LOT less once you get back over here. Back to reality, cowboy!

Yes Tuan,

I also do believe in Karma. Thanks for making this post. My wife is also having her interview next month. When she gets her visa and makes it to the US, I will definitely come back here to help.

There are so many people here to thank and I owe my debt of gratitude to you all. I am a firm believer in giving back. All it takes is for someone to say I understand what you're going through, to make their day.

My wife is the one that got me involved with a great charity organization in VN. They help orphans and disabled people in Saigon. They're called Maison-Chance.org and is run by an amazing Swiss woman name Aline "Tim" Rebeaud. She and her friends in VN attended our engagement and wedding ceremonies. This has really changed my life and we will always be going back to VN to help our friends there.

Giving back is the best thing anyone can do.

Cheers,

Michael

Awesome, Michael. I truly believe everyone give a helping hand, the one would become a better place. I am thinking of sponsoring a child from a third world country through Child Fund.
