As requested, adding jj1028. And to RandyandRina, walang anuman po :thumbs: Congrats to 2hearts1beat on visa approval!

I'm wondering why people are reluctant to provide the first 3 digits (after 2007) of their Manila case number. We VJ old-timers built up our excitement by guesstimating our interview schedule based on the interview dates given to those who preceded our case number. It was a lot of fun.

Hello all! Just had my state ID... it's a Non-Driving License :lol: Last Friday, I had my first driving lessons from my husband and it was aweeeeeesommeeeeee! We're now on our AOS stage and waiting patiently for some movements... With all the applications submitted before July 30th, it looks like it's going to take awhile before we can hear from USCIS. ;)

Oh well... :whistle:
