Our Family 

Joshua, a music lover, and Tennessee born guy met Lady Lyn, a Filipina in an online Yahoo Christian Chat while both of them were praising God in a different way.  The latter was bullied by some chatters, and courageous Joshua rescued her like a damsel in distress, that was where a new chapter of life begun with the two of them. Their marriage is blessed in many forms including of rewarding them with a beautiful and joyful baby girl named Abigail Exodus Haltom which named perfectly represents their love and life story as a family.

Many use the BB stamp, sort of an automatic when arriving in the the Philippines for Fil-Am couples.  We are currently here in the Phils with BOTH of us using the BB stamp as my wife travels with her U.S. passport.

 

I find the BB stamp very simple and easy in comparison to the 13A visa, even with having to make a yearly trip outside the country.

Visa chase and citizenship.. DONE!
