I am just curious how long it will be when your MAHAL finally comes to America from when you last saw them, and how many times you have seen them from when you decided to go through the whole visa journey process.

As for me and Lenie, I last saw her in May when I stayed there for two weeks as her and I visited around my favorite places and saw my favorite people. When she gets here, it will be 10 months since I last saw her. It will be quite a shock, but a very very joyous time.

as for my husband and i, we met in person feb, 06 then filed k1 on march, 06... visited me on my bday june, 06 then visited me again on nov, 06 lol... more likely every 3 months... got my interview dec, 06 then fly to the US jan, 07... its been a roller coster ride, the missing and the parting at the airport... my long flight to the US... yet when we saw each other again at the denver airport, everything its so worth it!!! knowing its gona be for long at last!

Well, Umm...5 minutes ago! We are staying here together until after the interview on April 4th wen we then fly to the US.

Warm Regards,

1 and a half years since I have seen her in person

We were fortunate. I went to visit Claudeth and her family right after I mailed the petition in March 2005. She came here in July of 2005.

Why did it take you so long to file? That seems crazy too long.

Although this is in the Philippines thread, I believe my "teerak" and I qualify since we lived in the Philippines together. Hell, she learned more Tagalog and Bisaya than I did the whole time I was there, damn maids taught her too much.......LOL

I last saw her when I made a trip back to Thailand back in September. I expect her to be here in May, so that would make it 10 months. ugggghhhhhhh

My Ryan was here on February 11 (this year) and we spent the whole week together. We had a great Valentine's celebration. He went back to AZ on Feb 18 and we are already missing each other soooooooooooooooo MUCH. We're stretching our patience to wait for the approval of his petition which is absolutely strengthening our faith to the One who is taking care in and in control of everything.

The last time I saw my wife was January 08. Before that, it was April 07. Hopefully, our visa journey ends soon and I'll get to see her again in a couple of months.

Michelle was here to spend the new year with me (with a bang! ) and went back to the Tate last January 24 (our monthsary...huhuhuhu!)

so its exactly 42 days since we last saw each other...

Im looking at her right now, eating oranges while browsing her computer, lol. Seriously , I met Myla in person February, 2007 and saw her again when she arrived here October of the same year. 8 months more or less. I wanted to be with her during the interview but she "insisted" ( that was one of those times that she can be so stubborn and gets her own way, hahaha) I used the money instead for her ticket on her way here, which in the end I found very practical.Thats how she thinks. It was a long wait, but chatting and calling everyday helped a lot. And now, she is here, its the perfect gift for all the sacrifice.

To those who are still waiting to be together again, hang in there.

March 19 will be a year since I have seen my asawa in person. When she will get here depends upon how many more months the supposed doc verification takes. Today is two months since it was paid and verified.

We weren't even thinking of marriage back then.

sorry edp333 i wish you luck to get this over now now now.... well it will be 20 days shy of one year when i go there before her interview. it really hasnt seem like that long yes chatting 2 times a day and calling on weekends has really helped in the last few months... i have 28 days left till i see my mahal ooohhhhh i want time to fly now

I havent seen my Gem since August 2007 when I made my last trip to the Philippines with my teenage daughter. I went alone in October 2006, Feb 2007. So, its been 7 months since we have been together I guesss Vermont has slowed down. We were touched the second time on Feb 17th. Thats the last time. We check everyday but nothing yet. Maybe soon I hope. Frank

I arrived in the Philippines on 16Aug., just 4.5 hours ahead of my honey's 27th birthday. We stayed together in Pasig City for 2 months until my departure 15Oct.

I will see her in early to mid-June before our expected delivery date of 22-27June08. We chat online w/ skype video call every morning and evening. It will be 8 months between our last in person contact. We had our Noa2 approved on 5March08. We're very excited about our future.
