It Would seem now that most or all of us have our NOA2 and most have already gotten their Visa or about to get it. Lets not Forget each other in this long Struggle we began months ago. We were here for the support of each other, we shared with other, We cried with each other, we held up each other to stand when we were too weary! In essence we were like a Family, as we know the components of Family. I am so glad to have met each and everyone of you on this forum and I hope soon we get to see the faces behind the Posts.

Good Luck to each and everyone of YOU! Lets not forget each other as our journey comes to an end. Again Thank You Guys for your support of each and everyone of US!

Good Luck to the rest of our journeys! Our Special May 2011 Flier Group!

TOM :thumbs::thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

Thank YOU, Tom, for always being there for us, for your uplifting messages, and for always having our backs. On days when I was feeling depressed about this whole process, I would read your posts and feel better. You are a true gem, and I am grateful for you and our whole May Filers Family for y'all's support. Thank you all! :)

I definitely agree, Tom. We've cleared yet another hurdle. We now have both CRBA and passport in hand for my daughter. The final hurdle, which is really a small one, is getting an exit stamp from Philippine Immigration in Serena's passport. Saving for their airfare has begun in earnest. :D:thumbs:

Good Luck Ray_J, you the Man!:dance: I hope Amy and Serena get there soon. Good Luck to you my friend. it has been a pleasure to have met you. Stay in touch with US! Again, Good Luck, Happy Holidays!:thumbs: :thumbs:

Amen bother tom ...... we are approved wensday waiting visa now.......

Good Luck,"Weh"!! Its coming. Stay in touch, ok?:dance::thumbs:

Congratulation....can u tell me who send u packet 3. Was is nvc or embassy... Thank u and good luck for the interview..

Thanks! It was the US Consulate in Vancouver, Canada who sent me packet 3. I emailed the Consulate and asked them to email me packets 3 and 4, which they kindly did. How are you doing? I hope your AP won't take too long... I've seen some people on VJ who are in AP only a few days, then their case is sent off to the embassy... I'm praying that's how it will be for you.

wow..your process is so fast..congratulation Team Katman. So quick question for you, when or how can we pay the visa fees? THe NVC sent my case to US embassy in Sydney, now im waiting for the package 3, i hope mine moves fast as well cuz im worry for fiance' visa of staying in Australia. it will expire soon and now it's a holiday season things may take longer..and also i would like to ask you, when submitting the forms for package 3, there is no need to sign for all the forms right?

Hoaphuong, I would check with the US Consulate in Sydney's requirements, as I believe it may be different from country to country and consulate to consulate.

http://www.visajourney.com/consulates/index.php?ctry=Australia&cty=Sydney

I had to pay the visa fee online before I could choose my interview date. Also for me, for the consulate in Vancouver, I only had to send by fax Part 1 of Form DS-230 (Biographic Data) and the checklist included in Packet #3. I signed both documents, as was required.

Hope this helps! Good luck! :)
