kicking.gif Thank you Hank. I appreciate your help on visa journeyers like me. You are always the first one to give us encouragements especially when we become impatient in the whole process and the progress of the whole stressful but exciting journey. The Lord bless us by having you here on this site. You are unselfish and are always ready to give us ideas again and again (i asked, they asked, most people here asked the same question but you commented on every single thing...kind) .

Thank you for all the advises, the ideas and bold thoughts that really helps and for teaching us the value of being patient til the end of the visa journey. (Oh those 8 months for meClockWatch2.gif ) good.gifgood.gifgood.gif

May God bless you more. And continue being a blessing to everyone on Visa Journey helping everybody in the journey. Keep up the good work.

Thank you. We give glory to God :)

"LOVE is a journey. We walk through life, found each other along the way and stayed inlove. And the best thing is being MARRIED to the person you love and accepting that the future will unfold itself while the two of you still bonded by the same word everybody called LOVE. A love that says "Let God be God"

Hank has helped a lot of people, and you can count on him giving out good info always

On of the problems on this forum back when I was going thru the K-1 was the experts that were not

I was on FB group and actually recommend someone come here and ask for hank

Maybe they would make him the mod of this forum

Tip of the hat to you hank

I am here to unofficially make note of Hank_ 's Handy-Dandy, Neeto-Keen (yet spiffy) Guide to SuperFast K-1 Visa Chasing Guide for Manila IV. I ask each of you to paste the url to every newb you see, that just got an NVC Casefile #.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Whoa Nelly ! Want NVC Info? see http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

Normally, one sees pages like this after a person dies. (Don't get any ideas, Hank!!) It's nice to see the appreciation rolling in while the recipient can actually feel it.

I will add my thanks, cuz Hank always something wise to add to any convo. (sometimes it's a wise-### comment, but even those are needed at times!) ;)
