Checkin in to show my May Filers fam some love!!! Visas received yesterday, God is sooo good!!!

"Contrary to what the cynics say, distance is not for the fearful, it is for the bold. It is for those who are willing to spend a lot of time alone in exchange for a little time with the one they love. It is for those knowing a good thing when they see it, even if they don't see it nearly enough."

Well, friends... the time is finally here. In about 12 hours from now, I'll be getting ready to get in a van to take my mother and I to the airport. I've been preparing for this all day and I'm still not finished. Laundry is finally done. I'm just about finished packing everything. The car is mostly loaded up. Dishes still need to be finished, but only have a small amount to do. And, the last thing I need to do is sweep the floors. Then, it's off to the Chicago area where I'll wait at my mom's place for our ride. Oh, on top of that, I still have homework to do for school... and, it's due tomorrow night while I'm on the plane. I'm not going to be getting any sleep tonight. :wacko: However, it'll help me adjust to the time difference. :lol: It's hard to believe that I'll be with my mahal soon. :D

The interview date thing is driving me insane. I went through 50 k-1 bkk timelines, and the average is 50 days from the day they sent packet 3, so that would put me at about Nov. 20. I REALLY HOPE THAT'S RIGHT!!!

Currently.... they have issued Ice the incorrect GC and we have tried 4 times to fix it. First time they had us send it to the incorrect address. Second time they said we used an expired form, which was the form they gave us. Third time was "oh sorry we lost the last page, can you send it again?." Fourth time is the gov is shut down. Will this ever be corrected in time for Ice to get the permanent GC? Stay tuned to find out. T_T

My finance received a letter from the U.S. Embassy in London, saying they received the approved petition and gave us our case number. YAY!!:thumbs:

The next date to fill in on the Visa Journey Timelines is for date "Received Packet 3". When do we receive that???

The letter he received, with the case number, only listed the forms he needs to submit (which we do have), but no packet :help:

Hi, I am not far behind you in the process and waiting for my application to get to London. The letter you have recieved is "packet 3" with the details of the forms you need to now submit. "packet 3" is an historic term that was used prior to the internet days. Packet 3 would have contained the forms needed, hence a packet.!

VJ members will correct me if I am wrong but thats how I understand it.

Good luck!

Man! Oh, man... I'd forgotten how long of a flight that was. I'm happy to say that we made it to Manila safely and that I've had a chance to hold my little angel. She is soooo precious. I'm also happy to be with my love, but haven't had much time to spend with her yet. She's been busy taking care of Serena. Amy's sister is here with us for the night tonight. I know we'll have plenty of time to get reacquainted.
