Yeah, she told me all about that, lol. She was so excited when she called because she met so many VJers. Did you visit the web-site gracy? She put some pictures of VJers on it, very beautiful women

Good Luck Gracy as chad said you're on the top of the game

Hi Everyone, We picked up our visa at the embassy today and will leave tomorrow morning at 6:40 am. for the US of A.

We had the interview and the CO said we had passed and would be getting a call from the embassy on Thursday. We were traveling in some remote areas visiting some of my friends this time and did not hear from the embassy. We returned to Manila and went to Surigao for a few days to visit more friends and returned on Monday, but the plane was late so we got to the embassy at 3:20 only to find the window closed at 3. Tuesday was labor day for the Philippines so the embassy was closed of course. We then went to the embassy on Wednesday to Window 34, (Visa pickup window) only to be informed that the visa had been approved but not printed. It had been 10 days since the interview and they had not printed the visa. The lady also told us that they had to get something from the US, which seemed like an out and out lie to me. We then went to window X on Wednesday morning to find out the status and the lady told us the visa was ready for pickup at window 34. The lady at window 34 seemed very surprised that we were there as she had not yet called us and could not figure out how we knew the visa was ready.

Anyway we were grateful to get everything completed and will be leaving in about 10 hours.

BTW, we went to Baguio for a few days. It was horrible. It was the absolute worst pollution I have every encountered. It was 10 times worse than Manila at it worst several years ago. I have been to Baguio before the pollution and it was a beautiful city and a lovely place to visit but if you can't breathe except while holding a handkerchef over your nose it is not so lovely any more.

Surigao on the other hand was absolutely fantastic. Although it is summer and very dry in most of the PI, it rained every day we were there but only rain showers.

Hi Dean,

Wow, sounds like you got the run-around there after your approval. Glad everything worked out in the end. Hope you have a safe trip back!

You said Baguio was very polluted. Lina and I were planning to go there while waiting for the visa to be delivered. Is it bad everywhere in Baguio or just certain areas to avoid?

Hi Guys, sorry it took so long to reply. We came into POE Detroit last Friday and have been "busy" ever since.

It was polluted almost everywhere except Camp John Hay. Baguio is such a beautiful city it is a shame to pollute it like that.

Gra finally found a hotel room at the Palladin Hotel. It was comfortable and resonable as well as clean. No elevators but it was ok. They also had a free massage which was ok but I wouldn't pay for it seperately.

Yeah, we definitely got the run around on the visa, but thank God we got it and everything worked out ok.

We came thru Detroit as POE. Gra was in one line and I was in another. It didn't take long for me to get thru but it took about an hour for her to get thru as she was taken to a seperate area for "interview". While she was there the computers went down and they had a problem for awhile which was the reason it took so long for her to get thru. One lady asked her questions, one of which is "do you have any food that you brought in?" Gra replied that she did not have any food at which the lady said, "if we find food you are done". Gra was very nervous as the lady was very intimidating and threatening. Obviously everything was ok and we finally got out of there.

As we were awaiting our flight to OKC Gra had her first culture shock and told me she had never seen so many white people and black people and so many speaking english ALL the time. haha She wanted to see more brown people.

Gra seems to be adjusting very well and has met some of my family and friends. She cooked rice almost as soon as we came home from the airport. lol

Congratulations to everyone that has had approvals lately. As for us it is time for us to investigate the AOS thing.

Just a heads up. If you are entering together at POE you can go through the same line together for USC's and LPR's. At LAX I simply told the man directing people that I was USC and had my fiance with me on K-1 and he directed me to the correct line. No problems. Customs officer was a nice guy.
