AFTER THE EMBASSY'S REQUEST TO RENEW MY NBI CLEARANCE AND MEDICAL REPORT WHICH I SUBMITTED LAST SEPTEMBER 7, 2006, HERE IS THE BEST GOOD NEWS I EVER HAD. FOR EVERYONE OF YOU WHO ARE STILL HOPELESSLY WAITING FOR YOUR VISA... FINALLY AFTER 2 YEARS AND 3 MONTHS OF WAITING, LAST SEPTEMBER 12, 2006, TO MY SURPRISE, MY VISA WAS DELIVERED TO ME BY DELBROS. THANK GOD, THANK GOD! YEHEY!!! I AM GOING HOME TO MY LOVEYDOVEY. :dance::dance::dance:

NOW I WISH THE BEST OF LUCK TO ALL OF YOU. MY PRAYERS ARE ALL YOURS. :)

GOD BLESS AND TAKE CARE EVERYONE. KISSES AND HUGS.

Edited by fianceeinwaiting

HOORAY! HOORAY!! HOORAY!!! WHAT A GREAT AND BLESSED MARRIED LIFE AFTER TWO AND A HALF YEARS OF VISA WAITING!

Well, as the saying goes... "GOD seldom does great things in a hurry, so let us wait patiently. Patience means awaiting GOD's time without doubting GOD's love"... Now I believe GOD has rewarded my Loveydovey and me.

On March 20, 2007 (first day of Spring) marks my 159th day of warmth, good cheer and happiness here in North Carolina. After more than 4 months now being married to my one and only loveydovey, sweet, loving and thoughtful Mahal, all I can say is thank GOD, WHAT MORE CAN I ASK FOR? Thank you very much GOD for this special love!***

And now with my EAD and AOS approved, WOW! USCIS, YOU ARE WONDERFUL!

Melanie this is awesome news, congratulations and have a safe trip.

Everything I respond to is from personal knowledge, research or experience and I am in no means a lawyer or do I claim to be one. Everyone should read, research and be responsible for your own journey.

Trim your posts please. No need to scroll down half a page just to get to your one sentence reply...

Would also be nice to cut down on the half page signature areas.
