Well the courier delivered Merlaine's visa today :) She was waiting on him to show up so she could go back and get her stamp/sticker from CFO before she leaves Manila. The Thrilla in Manila should be over with now - back to Tacloban in the next day or two. Get that stuff packed up baby!!

Good luck Raj!! Wow, life2live just disappeared...sad :(

I know!! God I'm so glad that nonsense is over :wacko: It wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't such a long wait for EVERY STINKING STEP in the process. It's like watching a great tv show then seeing "to be continued"...pisses me off!! 30 minutes to look at your I-130, 2-3 days for a background check, 2-3 days for NVC to receive it, 30 minutes to look at the I-130 and assign a case number, took 2 minutes to pay the fees online, 2 minutes to enter the DS-3032 into their computer, 2-3 days to receive and look over the I-864 and DS-230, 30 seconds to schedule and appointment, week tops to get the info overseas, 2 days for medical, took 5 minutes for the interview, hand over the visa and done. That's 11 days, 1 hour and 39 minutes..NOT 7 FREAKING MONTHS!!

Nice math Kev! :rofl: :rofl:

I agree with you! It's so freaking long!

I'll for sure overload my application for ROC. I've been observing that some people don't even need to go to the interview if they have enough proof of bonafide. Another interview will kill me. I really don't want to be stressed over once again :wacko:

Hello Everyone,

It's been so long that I disappeared, but I hope some of you still remember me. I have finally arrived in the US with my husband a few days ago. Moving to live is not a simple move for me, so this is one of the reasons why I haven't got online lately. I am so happy for all our VJ family with the flood of approvals, though some still awaiting for their Visa. I wish all the week 3 interviewees all the best.

Best Wishes,

Tharnsur & BB

PS. FYI, this is BB. I'm using my hubby's ID :)
