Now for printing/packaging/delivery!!! :thumbs:

Long haul but finally! :dancing:

Printing? Yes. Delivery? Only to MOA. That's all SUPPOSED to happen TODAY. We'll see.

Somehow I don't see me sleeping tonight until the embassy closes, or I get word that she either DOES, or DOES NOT have it.

50 days post interview? You didn't get a 221g? (Checks timeline, sees the answer to his own question is YES). That sucks! Have you called them?

Thanks Greenbaum!

NEWS! It's DONE!

She called the embassy yesterday, and they told her it would happen soon, but if she was in a hurry, she could come to the embassy, and wait. Out the door like a flash, she was there, and camped out until they provided her what she needed, went to CFO and dealt with them. Signed, sealed, delivered, and ready to leave in a couple of hours to come to America.

Guys and gals. Words simply cannot describe the sincere gratitude that I must express for all the help, love, and guidance provided on these pages. For most of us, we'll only ever take this journey once, so we have no idea what to do, what to expect, or even when something will happen. The kindness, and support, and generosity with time here is quite a humbling experience for me looking back.

I feel that we accomplished a lot, but I realize that in order to reach the stars, I stood on the shoulders of giants. From the early checklists, and example forms, to the words of encouragement, commiseration, and ultimately camaraderie. I appreciate everything you guys and gals did for me, and I'll never forget you!

Most times it takes a few weeks after USEM has the requested documents before visa issuance (if everything is good)

Congrats!!!! :dancing:

Lot of IR/CR-1 get delayed for a CENOMAR, the embassy has it listed in their instructions letter.

Thanks. Ya, crazy US gov. You think someone would catch on that the CENOMAR is required for a couple to get married there. It's interesting it is required for Filipinos. No such similar thing exists on the US side. You just say your not married and they (US embassy) says good enough.

Silly me trying to make sense of the ways of our government. T
