First and foremost, I would like to thank each and every member here on VJ that helped me so much with the whole immigration process. :yes: I appreciate all the wisdom, understanding and patience. The daily contributors from the IR1/ CR1, NVC and Philippines forums… you are truly the best and amazing folks I have met. :thumbs: There are so many of you that helped me and it will take me days to have everyone you noted on here. What's important is that you will always be remembered and have a special place in my heart. (L) Thanks in a million!

My husband interview is finally over, and he was successfully granted his IR1 visa today November 15th at USEM (Philippines).

:luv: Good luck to everyone who are still in the journey to be reunited with your loved ones.

I will always pray that God will grant you and your husband WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND PATIENCE in everything you do. Always remember that love is only beautiful if shared by beautiful people with an understanding heart.

Thank you and God bless you.
