Thanks W & Sh. The officer JUST CALLED ME BACK!!! That alone is a near miracle! She spoke to the supervisor who has been sitting on my petition. She promised me it would be "going out" in the mail by the end of the week if not before-----the officer who called me has been so nice. She said she asked the supervisor to expedite this mailing so it won't sit when it goes -- when it goes it's going to New Hampshire!!! I will scream for joy when I get my NVC case number. Keep praying----this process is humbling----thank you friends, the renewed patient one, Alane & Ramzis :unsure::unsure:

Well Alane, you know I'm always praying for you and ramzis! By this time next week you'll have a new case number..I just know it!! :)

I could use a little traveling advice.

I am planning to fly to the Philippines to be with Arlyn during the interview, and got the approval from my work to take the 10 or so days off I need.

The thing is, how soon can I get the plane ticket for Arlyn after we get the Visa in hand?

I want her to fly home with me, and sit together on the plane!

Also, do we need to buy round-trip because it is K1 visa? I heard rumors of this. I am hoping we can just buy normal one-way trip and be able to do so right after she gets visa in hand.

I know I went to Makati before to make a change in my Northwest Airlines flight last time I was there, and they had plenty of room. Difference is that this will be right after the New Years, and spots may be limited.

Any advice would be appreciated!

-Adam and Arlyn
