Hello VJ Fam,

We have fantastic news to share; :dance:

Earlier today my husband was issued a CR/1 visa at the consulate in Georgetown, Guyana.

We are extremely thrilled & equally relieved at the positive outcome of our interview. But we must express our thanks & sincere

appreciation to all of you for your prompts responses & kind words of encouragement during our time of need. We are incredibly thankful for

the priceless friendships we have created. Also, for those of you awaiting the completion of your petition keep hanging in there, your time is almost here.

Thank you again & God’s blessing to one & all.

Yours truly,

Maleena & Sunil

Congratulations!

Easier said than done but continue to hang in there as best as you can. You & Tuyen were made for each other, I am sure they`ll eventually see that as clearly as I do. Also, feel free to shoot me an email at anytime if I can help with anything. My prayers are with you. & thank you again for being there for me!

Take care & God`s bless!
