Ok guys, how about a special page for PatientlyWaiting a.k.a. PW a.k.a. "Ate Cora ng Bayan"? It's her interview tomorrow so I just want to start a thread for wishes and good lucks for her successful interview.

Even though I just recently joined the Manila Embassy Thread, I've been a frequent visitor there and have seen how she helped/helps out everyone who's at loss and in need of advices.

To you PW, wishing you a successful interview tomorrow! Good luck and let us hear you shout "I GOT APPROVED, WOOOHOOO!" :dance: We will be waiting and looking out for you here... God bless such a wonderful person like you! You're the best!

Mae

Yeah I just joined the old thread, and don't even have a NOA2 yet, not even the NOA1. So good luck PW, you have helped alot of people on both sides of the pacific and even in the middle of the pacific. Hmm maybe you should have POE here in Hawaii, or get married here. I can hook you up with free or very cheap spa massages here. I am a LMT in Hawaii, and you and your husband deserve some pampering. You have me alot too. Salamat Po.

Cora:

You have been patiently waiting for a long time and little did you know how ironic your VJ ID would become.

At this point in time, I can't thing of anyone more deserving and ready for an approval. I'm really excited for you because I now have some idea what your immediate future is going to be like... SWEET!!! You are a selfless wonderful person that I have had the honor of getting to know through the wonderful service (support) that you provide here on VJ. You are an inspiration and a beautiful spirit.

We're saying a special praying for you both.

Ahmari

p.s. - Sometimes bad things happen to wonderful people, but you know what, your time has come... And it's time to collect.
