Well, got woken up 4 am with some tragic news. My fiance was on the way to BPI bank to pay the visa application and her jeepney was hijacked. She has a small wound but one of the passengers was shot and killed. I think it was a set up from the Xoom office where I wired her money. Since she also needed money for her K-2 plus medical she had $1000 on her. Even if she took a taxi they probably would have hijacked that too. I am thankful she was not seriously hurt. The worst part is they took her cell phone and IDs. Money can be wired easily but getting a new passport will take a month at least. That is the real tragedy...she will have to wait much longer for us to reunite again. She has gone through so many hardships the last few months with her ill mother and losing her baby that it is a wonder she has not given up. I think our love for each other is what's holding her together. I'm thankful for my VJ friends that support and help me through this difficult journey.

I am really sorry to hear about this, I am happy she is ok. I am really hoping that everything will get back on track quickly for you two, and that she get's out of there soon.

DAY 113 - ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!! - me

Congratulations to everybody who is moving in a positive direction to be with the one they love. They say "If you want something done right, do it yourself." Well as far as being with my sweetheart, I am. As far as USCIS, I wish I could.

3 days to Beijing

I am really hoping you hear something soon.

It's great that you are leaving in just a few short days to be with her, I am hoping you have good news before you get back.

We received packet 3 today.

There wasn't much in it, just the requests for the ds-160 confirmation page, a copy of the personal information page of his passport and 2 visa quality pictures.

This is from the Guangzhou embassy in China, not sure if the requirements are different for each country.

But we are happy about this and going to get them this info quickly. I'm just hoping they send us packet 4 quickly so we can finally get the interview set up.

Yesterday was the 2 week point after receiving NOA2, so I called NVC for the first time this morning. I had to redial 3 times once I figured out how their automated message worked. I was on hold about 25 minutes and got my case number! They said it would be shipped to the consulate shortly. Seems like it went from a lot of waiting to, oh #######, what do I do next!

leave for Beijing tomorrow!!

Have a WONDERFUL vacation with your fiancée, Rush Hour! Your time together will hopefully bring some relief to this unbearable wait that you are both enduring. Relax and enjoy, you deserve a mental break. I, for one, would have no hair left one my head if I had been waiting so long with no explanation.

Safe flight - hopefully your return home will be accompanied with some good news.
