 Have actually learned from his sister how to make several of his favorite Paki dishes, and of course chutney😉😉 trying to help his transition be as smoother as possible. 

 

I am also definitely going to be stocking up on spices while we are there and bringing them back with us. He has been in Abu Dhabi for 5 years, and I just want to make sure he has no regrets not being with everyone before leaving and not being able to return for awhile. 

 

Have you got anything planned for a going away party or anything????

He’s a lucky man he found a gem in you. 

 

Oh no special party to be held. Just a small gathering only. Just our family. Because i dont want to be emotional before i leave. I hate the word Goodbye.hehehehe.

 

We(filipinos) are known to have a strong family ties. We find difficult to be apart with our family. That’s why i opted not. Spending time with them will be enough before flying. 

 

What steps did you take to change your embassy?

Besides AMAZING Filipino food which I totally miss not being in Abu Dhabi I worked with many lovely Filipinos and was treated to special food all the time♥️

 

I love eastern family ties and connection it is truly something as a “western” I gravitated towards my fiancé’s culture and heritage. 

 

I was told once we receive case number from NVC that is when I inform of the requested change and follow up with islamabad to inform them they will be receiving our case God willing. 

 

And i I am right there with you, I hate the word goodbye, and yes you are right it will be a bittersweet departure but hopefully you and your honey will be able to make plans for your return visit in the next year or so♥️♥️♥️♥️

Hello all, for all you active members and all lurkers. 

 

Has any January filer received a RFE? I'm seeing a lot of approvals but no RFEs.

 

So guys, if you receive a RFE please say so we know what's going on. Because I feel like people don't inform their RFEs until they get their NoA2.

I don't think you can go to a different one even if you wanted to. Just like in Brazil, only one consulate in Mexico does the interviews for immigrant visas.

Been lurking on this forum for a few months now, and just wanted to let everyone know that we've received an approval on the new website today!!

No email or text, saw that others had updates this morning, so I checked and we did as well. 

Patience is key. I know it's difficult, but it will come. 😊
