It is sad to hear of your tale of woe, it is often difficult to predict the force majeure. Of course, the prudent thing is to be safe and sound. good.gif

Good luck to you on your visa journey.

they should give those who were suppose to be interviewed today a priority since you've waited long for this day to come and then would have to wait some more just because of mother nature. good luck also :) i'll keep you in my prayers.

My fiance ended up staying in Batangas and will wake up 1:30am to see what the weather is like. Hoping that the rain is a just a one day thing and those who weren't interview yesterday will have a chance to get interview before August ends. It would totally suck to have to wait another month again after waiting for so long to get interviewed. Anyways be safe everyone :)
