I think the whole concept that Steve and others had when they started JV was just that, members helping one another with this awful process. To me it has been a great success :thumbs:

I agree with Jigi, i gotta say without VJ and its members we'd of had NO IDEA about some of the forms, how to fill them out, how to do the shortcuts, because the gov's website and NVC miss out alot of info and can be very vague at times. This place has helped us no end! Thanks to everyone.. :)

Thank you Mariya.....

yes every ones advise is so helpful and it makes it alot easier to go through all this,

the waiting is terrible but every one has to go through it. it has a big help to know that i am not the only one here that seems to have to just sit and wait and go crazy not knowing. and the advise i see and read has been good to know so when its my turn to go through that phase it will be like riding a bike. but thanks to all the people here in vj you all have been great and to go out of your way some times and help people wont go unrewarded GREAT WORK EVERY ONE

I think the most important thing I have learned on this journey is to trust someone even they are strangers to you. I strongly believe that not only we learn from our own experience, we learn from other experiences too. I learned so much here, and I gain so many friends with this journey. :wub: Thank you all...
