That is wonderful to hear that you will finally have your wife here soon !! I admire your strength. I know that you were getting awfully close to just moving to VN. I know that most of us, if push came to shove , would sell the farm pack up everything and point the boat tward the flag with the little yellow star. In the end I believe that home is only where you hang your hat. But, living in a land that is soo foreign to us is hard choice to make. Visiting and vacationing there is one thing. Living there would definately take some adjustment. I am very glad to here that you will not have to be forced into making that leap. Congrats !!!

Thanks, everybody!

I couldn't have done it without all you wonderful folks on VJ.

My wife just now got the approval letter from the consulate. She'll be heading up to HCMC to fill out the visa application, per the letter's instructions. Then, I guess it's a week or ten days (hopefully!) for the visa. (?)

Man, I tell 'ya, this is the complete opposite of when I got the call the first time that she had gotten the blue form.

My hope is that she gets here for Thanksgiving. That would be awesome! I'll treat her to some nice free turkey at the Salvation Army! :yes: "Yeah, Honey, America is great. You get free food!" :lol:

I'm still in a bit of a shock and have not allowed myself to believe it. While waiting in AP, I pretty much relegated our chances to 1%.

For all of you out there still waiting, I encourage you to endure and hang in there. Don't give up!

For it to show under the portal category I think you need to have the Vietnamese flag in your profile under Country. It'll still show up in the Vietnam forum without the flag.
