Thats good Esther, Im real happy for you guys.Yes im hoping for Grace to come, you better belive it! Its funny how things work out.we were Approved in "74" days, a little over 2 and a half Months and we still waiting. but its all in Gods plan. I know we will be together before long.Hopefully by Spring.She wants me to come to the Philippines for her interview to be with her and thats my plan at this time. I have 2 weeks vacation from work from 2011, cause I didnt take a vacation, just a day here and there during the year. I will have another 2 weeks in April.but Im only planning to come there for a week or 9 days cause I want to save time for when she arrives I can take time off from work to go places. Show her all around Southern California! :dance: She wants to see Snow but we dont have snow in the Flatland where I live it never Snows but we will go into the Mountains here so she can see the Snow.only 15 mins frm me in Crestline and Big Bear it snows heavy during the Winter. need chains on the car though. She will also enjoy Hollywood and LA im sure. Stay in touch.......................Tom!:thumbs: :thumbs:

I felt the samw way in the last few weeks it seemed to take forever to do the first step because first it took days to get all paperwork and proof needed, copied, and a few backups, pics copied etc... Then to get cash I needed took a few weeks to offset minor bills etc, then finally to postoffice and wait for the service I hired to double check (honestly not sure I needed after sites like thus and others gave me all the info I needed to do myself) and waited for noa1. Now I am here for the long wait and waiting at least with you guys.

Your not kidding with the bills you pay while you are here in the states, but then when you find out how everything costs for a K-1. Irritating....

My fiancee was doubting me about my fiancee telling me I should get a job. I get VA Disability, it is fine with me. I was trying to tell her that sometimes we need help at the beginning until we can get you the nurse certificate to work here in the states. Trying to convince her that we need help a little from others based on our circumstances is okay.

I am going through school so this month hurt. I had to put down 400 for school, then 350 for the Visa App (Crazy High!) then found out that the Medical is going to be 220 and then she has to go to a seminar which runs almost 20 dollars. Then after that you have to pay almost 900 for a one way ticket to the states. Yeah I make money but when everything hits at once... gezzz... hard to make people understand that. Especially the ones who are not paying the bills LOL
