Hey Ed cheer up... i know it is hard to believe what happened to your wife's visa. Hang in there, your time will come again and when that day comes she'll be by your side. ;)

Jovy just called and DELBROS just delivered her visa!!! :dance:

We are very excited and already have our tickets. I am going next Saturday, landing in MNL Sunday night. She is gonna meet me there and we fly to Gen San the next day. We'll stay with her family about a week, and then going back to MNL, and then to USA on Wednesday morning March 5. We're going through Tokyo, and our POE is Newark, NJ, which is only 25 minutes to my house. I can't wait, her family is so nice, and we always have alot of fun there. It's just great knowing that we don't have to say goodbye again this time, which was always so difficult before.

The DELBROS delivery guy said that Jovy does not need to go to CFO, because she went to Singapore for two weeks once before. That's actually where we met, I was working there for two weeks, and we met at the Hard Rock cafe. Apparently he said that CFO is only for first time leaving the country, but she was only on vacation. I asked her to call the embassy tomorrow to confirm this, but wonder if anyone has heard of this? Thanks in advance for any insights.

Congrats Dan & Jovy !!! Jovy will need to attend the CFO if she hasn't done so already. Antonette took the seminar at Cebu...then received her sticker at Manila after receiving her visa. The Delbros delivery guy maybe mean't well....But, I hope Jovy will attend the seminar so, there will be no delay in your plans. Good Luck to you both!! Dennis & Antonette

Jovy called the embassy and they confirmed she needs to go to the CFO, so we're doing that Monday 2/25 before going to Gen San. Thanks to the well-wishers. Good luck to those waiting for visas, i am sure it will be this week.

I stayed overnight in Bayview as well...woke up at 4am and when I got to the embassy grounds at 5:45, it was already packed! The interview was a breeze...the CO didn't even look at the wedding album nor the cards/letters, etc. She only asked questions to verify the data in the DS230 and said “Welcome to America!” :D

I only need to wait a few more days to pick-up my visa then off to the US to be with my sweetie! :wub:
