Not sure if this is allowed on VJ so if its not, sorry and just delete it but I created a FB support page for Pinay Military Wives.. I find it hard to connect with other wives (because we are in the National Guard, but activated), and I think this would be a great avenue for us to talk about non-visa related issues (there's VJ for that) :) Anyway, its called Pinay Military Wives.. feel free to add!! :)

My Journey:

We met through a study-abroad program in Shanghai, China in August of 2009

We got engaged March of 2010

I received my K1 VISA in 6 months (June-December 2010)

We were married 04/02/2011
I received my conditional 2-year greencard (AOS) in 2.5 months with no interview (April-June 2011)

Our son was born 02/03/2013

I received my masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology 04/17/2013

I received my 10-year greencard (ROC) in 3 months with no interview (March-June 2013)

My husband returned from deployment 06/20/2013

My naturalization journey took 4 months (April-August 2014)

I became a US citizen on 08/01/2014

Received passport in 3 weeks (regular processing)

Thank you, VJ! smile.png

Well, I am not a military wife... but my GF will soon be one!

Here's another FB group, though not many are military: https://www.facebook.com/groups/pinkpumps86/

Deployments aren't much fun, eh? :no:

it's allowable. just don't post any email addresses in open forum for finding each other on facebook, we've had a recent problem with someone farming email addresses on vj and then spamming those emails.

if anyone plays castle age, let me know :devil:
