Fellow VJrs,

It has come to my attention that Hank_ is a frequent contributer to these boards and has helped guide many of us of which would have been lost without him. Sure, we can go through the guides and read everything line-by-line, but when somebody asks questions, he is there most of the time. Not sure if he created that K1 Guide for the USEM in the Philippines, but he constantly refers most of us there...and it explains the process in a step-by-step fashion that if you just read it, it should answer the most common questions posted on these boards. Yes, some members have special situations and Mr. Hank_ has come thru all the time.

So, Mr. Hank_ if you are reading this...please be it known that you are a God send and I'm sure many VJers here appreciate all that you do to make our journey as smooth as it can possibly be!

Jojo

I absolutely love Uncle Hank_ 's Handy-Dandy, Neeto-Keen (yet spiffy) ONLINE WEB PORTAL GUIDE to SuperFast K-1 Visa Processing for Manila IV.

I only wish more folk would read it and share the url.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

I have given him thanks more than once during our journey and will probably have an opportunity to offer more before the journey is over. I wonder if other countries have the same resource as Hank. Sorry for them if they don't.
