Wow! What a story to tell... Can I edit this later to tell you all more? Bottom line, now, we are happily here in the USA. Still working on many situations. I hope our story will be an inspiration to all that come here. Kind of crazy, but all of my relatives were immigrants too. My Mom is a genealogy guru, our family members came from around Europe mostly. I have 8 relatives that fought in the Revolutionary War. People need to understand this is the principal that we were founded on. An opportunity for a better life. God bless, the ideals of this country. We are unique in this.
They told me mine was sent to Manila the same date as yours but they letter from NVC is dated Dec. 02, 2010. It reads that " your case file will be sent to the Manila embassy within 7 days".
