Full Version: Final thoughts for old and new VJer's
Well Bev has her visa in hand and will be on the plane to Chicago on Sunday, our visa journey is almost over for two years and I felt like sharing some final thoughts. For new VJer's there is a wealth of information here that can really help you get through this process faster and with less stress. This is also someplace where we are all in the same boat and we all experience the same highs and lows and we should all feel safe to express our worries and frustration. No matter how trivial they may seem I can guarantee someone else feels the same. Another thing we have all witnessed lately is that this very long and difficult process meant to bring loving couples together can also add a lot of stress which may actually add to any problems that may be present in the relationship. The best thing we can do as a "community" is to be supportive and allow our fellow VJer's to rant, rave and obsess when they need to and not take anything personally. And when we post our problems don't take another person's failure to understand as a personal attack, it is ok for us to disagree with respect. Our real experience on this forum has been filled with honest people who will give you their best advice with their best intentions and we thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. And I know this is hard to believe but this process seems a lot better from this end than it did from the start! We were really blessed to get our visa in hand in only 168 days and we truely wish you all a fast and happy journey through this process. Thanks again and good luck to all! Ray

Hear Hear,
when i've been stressed about this whole thing, instead of doing 8 million google searches while at work and probably now having the CIA now think i am some international james bond villain ( i cant have been the only person who has done this?), I should have come straight here, because when I did, I got a good answer fast.
Good luck to you and everyone else.
