well, some of you guys already knew about my story! I had this dilemma when i got interviewed on april 17th, I got a temporary refusal since affidavit of support wasnt enough (likely become a public charge) I still remember those times i was really depressed and desperate... I envied people who posted that their interview was a success. I have been waiting for my husband's salary and contract of employment for 2 months... I felt i was in a dark moments of my life - i am clueless when am i goin to be my husband?! Ive waited for the day until I submitted the requested docs at the embassy on july 5th. My heart almost stopped when the lady i talked at the window X said the k3 doesnt accept Co-sponsor (i submitted mom-in-law and cousins affidavit as well).. I was really worried, so i told to myself not to worry that much and just moved on, Atleast I still have my I130 on goin.... one week after i submitted the docs, me and hubby had a fight cuz i was blaming him why he didnt notorize his contract of employment which i thought it was a requirement. I called Lorraine at the US embassy and she confirmed that our documents were submitted to the CO on July 9th (which our 1st year anniversary)... I never counted the days after that, as I thought I would hear from the embassy within 6weeks since we're under adminstrative review...

Today, I was on my way to the bank and our household maid sent me an sms told me that DELBROS delivery guy was there and waiting for me. I called our maid and asked her again if that's a VISA already not just a letter, and she said YES and the delivery guy doesnt want to give my visa to my maid. And our maid told me to go back and hurry or cuz the delivery was in a hurry. When i was hurriedly goin back to my house, My whole body felt so numb, i dunno really what to think.. I cant breath..hehehe.... I was praying that should be a VISA not just letter. When i reached our subdivision entrance, I saw from afar the MAN and our MAID infront of our house, I was running honestly.. hahaha... trying to catch my breath until i finally asked the delivery guy if that's a REAL VISA.. HE said YES, he never delivered anything aside from VISA... So i asked him if i can open the plastic, and he told do not tear the sealed envelope juz get the passport (honestly, I really thought they just returning my passport and papers without a visa and saying im sorry we cant grant u a visa this time...hahhaahaha) I really cant wait so i opened the plastic infront of the delivery guy and got my passport... So when I opened my PASSPORT!!! I WAS LIKE.... OMG!!!! IT IS TRUE!!! it's my VISA!!! whoohoooo GOD is really GOOD!!! it's an answered PRAYER!!! I felt i have butterflies in my stomach and i felt im goin to have a heart attack!!! :dance: I gave the delivery guy a tip, for waiting me!!!! hehehe actually i said to him that he's truly an angel who sent my GOD from ABOVE!!! whoahhh.... Im still on cloud nine right now... Im goin to see my hubby soon!!! finally!!!! Im leaving on AUG 9th... YEHEY!!! :lol:
