It has been quite a long road. I am happy to report that our visa was approved. I flew to Manila to be with Michelle during the interview. We had our embassy interview on Monday and it went well. We were out of the embassy by 11:00 AM. We were very over prepared because they never asked for any photos, chat logs, proof of visits...NOTHING. However it was a bit scary when the Consular Officer told me to go sit down in the waiting area while he talked to Michelle alone. 5 minutes later, she came back with a big smile on her face!

Sorry that our case messes up the average time from NOA2 to Approval :-( We had to go through the 8 month DOT process after a positive sputum test. Thank God that is over, Michelle is well, and we are flying to California the end of next week.

Michelle and Jeff
