Good news from Manila....Churchita's K-1 visa was approved on Thursday, January 11, and she received the visas (K-1 for her and K-2 for her daughter) on Tuesday, January 16...we picked them up at the USE. I was there for her interview and I believe that definitely helped. Now we are in Chicago...just got her on 1/19/07. The interview at USE was challenging, and so was the POE experience at O'Hare in Chicago. But...we made it through everything and now we just have to plan our wedding date and then begin the AOS process.
Churchita's first experience with winter in Chicago was not a good one...she immediately slipped on some ice in front of our house and fell face forward...but she's ok. It just scared her and embarrassed her, too.
Thanks everyone for being so supportive, especially Trey and Roxy, who also were approved the same day as Churchita was.
To everyone who is still in the K-1 process...hang in there and be patient. Your time is coming, even though the waiting drives us crazy sometimes.
