We got a Visa!

[andrew va thuy 0]

After a two and one half year wait, which includes having our first petition sent back to the service center that approved the petition. Appealing the Consulate Officers findings, winning a second approval (reaffirmed petition) waiting again as the petition travels back through the NVC again, finding it way to the HCMC Visa Unit again, waiting for another interview day, having the interview again, blue sheeted again, waiting for the Administrative Review, I am happy to announce… We have been approved for a K-129 Visa!

I want to thank all the people here at VJ and a special thank you to “Mr. Marc Ellis” whose talents, knowledge and tenacious persistence in pursuit to have his/her clients voice be heard within the walls of The U.S. Consulate and the personnel who work at the U.S. Consulate HCMC who interact daily under impossible working conditions yet somehow manage to perform their duties.

Should you be one of the few who are sincere in your relationship and find yourself in a similar situation. Please remember when dealing with all the frustrations including, the endless of passing of time, the loss of family members over time, being alone without your spouse during Holidays Seasons, becoming older, the endless letter writing, contacting your Congressman/Congresswoman for help, as to, “Where is my petition now?” That, “if you give up” and stop your efforts in bringing your loved one home, YOU never really loved that person at all.

I am still in disbelief and fear something will hold the process yet; I have to “allow” myself to believe all is ok now. I can now plan for the future with my soon to be Wife by my side. I now need to un-thaw my thoughts from a two-year hibernation induced by disappointments. I hope what little information I have shared here at VJ gave hope to your situation to hang in there. The old words of: “hurry up and wait” is true.

Thank you all for your time.

Hang in there =-)

It's "his", Martin. I haven't had a sex change since you retained me, nor am I in any transitional state between his and her.

At least, the last time I checked wasn't.

I just wanted to reassure my current clients about that.

Sorry Marc for any confusion. I want to clarify that you represent both male and female clients with equal High Performance and Standards. Thanks!

Congrats Martindart!! I am very pleased to read your news!! You are a shining example of tenacity and perserverance to others who are BS'ed (blue-sheeted ) and wish you only the best as you two continue on your journey together.

...Also, it is good to see that a previous injustice has been corrected at the consulate and that Marc, yet again, is involved!!

I'm so glad you finally got the visa. May a smooth journey follow you both from this point, in adjusting your wife's status in the states, and in building a happy life together. Sincerely.

That is great news. SO happy to hear this. You were the one to refer me to Mr. Ellis. I would agree that his service is very appreciated.

Martinart...

What a journey you have gone through!!! Amazing how when you seem to lose all hope, the love you gave to her brought you back up and made you even stronger than before. With a little or a lot of expert helps from M.E. (Marc Ellis), your case is now SUCCESSFUL. I must say, Kevin and Loan are my heroes, so are you! We have seen so many cases where HCMC put them throu hell and back, this is one of those. You outperform yourself and our expectation

Way to go Martinart... Going back to VN to prepare her trip to America, aren't you?

Be well,

chuck and kim

P.S.: forgot the routine... Congratulations... Can't say enough of it to you two...
