HI everyone in VJ! it's me Jinky here! I finally have the nerve to post my view regarding this NOA thing! :D

4 months ago, I was so excited about the NOA1! Thinking that after a couple of weeks, RFE will be sent and sooner the NOA2! My Steven kept on encouraging me to visit this site to make me feel at ease, he always told that we're not alone! There are plenty of us in the same boat! Honestly, it was very hard for me to realize that we have to wait this long. But as the saying goes... "no pain, no gain!" But do we really have to go through this??? I guess so! :crying:

Now, we got the NOA2! :thumbs: Thank GOD!

I know it's still a long way to go... Waiting is not yet over! But for sure, there will always have a sunshine after a gloomy storm! Just hang in there! :D

Of course, I wont end this without saying THANK YOU! Thank you for the people who were there all these times. Those who shared their views or opinions! It may hurt other people's feelings but it helps somehow. It helps us to sharpen our minds and thoughts! To accept criticism with open arms and just take it as a challenge!

And lastly, Thank you My Steven for everything! Your love is the enough answer for all this waiting! I LOVE YOU BABY and I always will! JUst MiSs YoU badly uy! :D

Congratulations to you both!

Everything I respond to is from personal knowledge, research or experience and I am in no means a lawyer or do I claim to be one. Everyone should read, research and be responsible for your own journey.

You have a great attitude Jinky. The name of this website does describe the experience - we are on a journey and it won't be an easy one for most of us. Still, it's well worth it to get to the destination. Remaining upbeat and sharing our thoughts and experiences is VERY helpful.

Mari and I have been on virtually the same time track as you and it's been a hard thing watching some petitions move while others sit, some get an RFE in July while others wait and wait and wait. It's not a fair process and the only place to learn anything about what is actually going on is right here! It is good when we can celebrate the success of someone else even while we wait knowing our time for celebration will come too and now it's finally here. So enjoy the moment!!!! :star::dance::dance::star:

Have you guys heard yet from the NVC? I would bet that you are already there or even on your way to the Manila embassy. Seems like a bunch of Philippines petitions suddenly have moved after months of inactivity.

Keep contributing guys!! Take care and good luck!!

ERIC and MARICHU
