Hello Vjers. Finally, I got our case completed on 6/8/09 and we received our interview appointment letter the next day. I didn't expect it. I was planning to call the NVC on Friday to give them days, so I really didn't call them today. But, when I checked my email, I got the NVC letter with appointment date. This is awesome.

Any VJers who have the same interview date as mine? July 28, 09, 8:30 am at Manila Embassy!

Thanks to those who helped us in this journey..Glad it's almost over. :-)

hope everyone else gets their case completion and interview date. This is the best time for case completion, because you will get your interview date right away. Good luck!

"Our Wedding Prayer"

Lord,help us to remember when we first met,and the strong love that grew between us.

To work the love into practical things so nothing can divide us

Grant us a Love that grows stronger with each passing year.

We ask for words both kind and loving

and for hearts always ready to ask forgiveness as well as to forgive.

Guide us to overcome every challenge

and keep our dreams pure to each other always.

Dear Lord,we put our marriage into Your hands.Amen

If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.
