We have jumped through all the hoops, sustained the pain of NVC, submitted documents upon documents, been interviewed and finally have all that is required to travel to the US and start our new life. (Plane Tickets are booked...wooohoo!)

As a very occasional Visa Journey poster, but an avid reader of the content, I would like to thank all those who do heavily contribute and assist everyone in this process. The virtual support and information obtained in this forum certainly helped myself in getting through this task.

I personally feel the time for my "visa journey" would fall into the 'easy' category in comparison to some I have viewed. The one thing I would ask is that everyone support each other and remove any 'competitiveness' or 'trying to out do' each other in who has had a 'harder time or more difficulties' in moving through the process. Unite with the one commonality of 'everyone is going through a stressful, confusing, time consuming and SLOW process which impacts on our lives in many different ways'. I feel this will help a positive and beneficial dialogue for all.

Thank you to everyone in this forum and to those who are starting out or currently in processing...stay strong and always have hope of success....(and if in doubt, read my quote below).

All the very best! :dancing:
