Yes thanks! I am hoping to become a more active participant on this forum. Hopefully somebody new will be able to learn from our past experiences and help them in their own visa journey. Thu submitted her passport and paid the EMS fee. She should get the passport with visa in about a week or so.

Now that my journey through AP is complete, I want to add a few final words of wisdom. I spent 8 months in this AP nightmare. AP is perhaps the most difficult part of the immigration process mainly because you cannot be with each other and also because of the complete unknown. You have no idea what the Consulate is doing with your case for months and it can be enough to make a person go mad. There is no magic solution on how to deal with AP. The only thing I can advise others is to dig very deep into your heart of hearts and find the strength to be strong. It truly takes mental toughness. There were times when I wanted to give up. I didn't want to do this anymore. Thu and I got into silly arguments about such trivial things. But we found a way to rely on each other's love for each other to get past those silly arguments. Eventually you learn that no matter what happens, you go through it TOGETHER. The last thing you want is to not be on the same page...and if you don't like the results you start blaming each other. No matter what the outcome of your journey is, go through it TOGETHER. Fail together or succeed together. Remember what you are fighting for. Remember what you are sacrificing so much for. Remember the prize that is waiting for you when you succeed...your loved one. In the end, all the battles you fought and all the obstacles you overcame will only make the victory taste so much sweeter!

Now I will do my best to help others just as I was helped the past 3 years. I look forward to helping all of you in any way possible. The people on Visa Journey are the best and if we work together, I hope that more people will experience the joy and jubilation of being united with their loved ones. Thanks again. God bless

I would like to say thanks if you could come in sometime and help out and answer questions. You also can help others that get into AP or even help people not get to a AP. Of course life does get in the way but if you or others that are able to now and again come and continue helping would be awesome.

I would like to thank the many that have been helping out. Years ago it was a small section and most dropped out after they were done. Eventually we got a Scott or a Jim and others that helped as they were going through and stayed to help when able. I appreciate them very much. I have also noticed this past year and these past few months especially more than the usual people helping out. In fact I think we have a sharp crew here. I come often and check out the forum but the questions have been answered already and in a top notch way. I applaud this forum and the many that have made this possible.

Thu just sent me a text...that she got the pink!!! I am trying to confirm it by calling her...but she is refusing to answer my calls. #######? Vietnamese women sometimes.....

Anyways, I am just trying to make sure that she did not make a mistake in her text. Here is a copy of her text:

"Hallo baby I get pink paper. But iam tired so much I wish you can hold me. g9"

Yeah her English sucks.I just tried calling her 3 times but she does not answer me. I know how to read her text messages...but I need confirmation from her just to be sure. My goodness if this is true, this is unbelievable. Unfreaking believable we did this! Finally, this ridiculous wait is over!!! :dance: :dance:

Congrats! Vietnamese women are the best.

Thanks for the inspiration! Your enthusiasm and spirit are a beacon to those still waiting!

Congrats to the both of you. Now that your journey is over are you going to go to Disneyland? :thumbs: Ok joking aside I know that AP is hard but you got through it with flying colors and you are with your love one now and that is all the matters.

And he didn't waste anytime doing it.

Yes Curtis..he did own that thread for awhile there Good to see another one got out of AP with an approval!!!

@WeatherEmperor: Congratz again and enjoy!! After the long AP bootcamp, AOS should be a piece of cake for you. If you have questions later on..there should be a few of us here already went through it..
