The fiance POE'd yesterday...customs in Boston went amazingly well. None of it feels real yet. I still lurk on here and am saying prayers for everyone still waiting. There is light at the end of this tunnel. Or my favorite Katy Perry lyric "After a hurricane comes a rainbow."  See yall in the AOS chatrooms!

I finally entered the states last week and I get married this sunday April 1st... a year after my Fiancee proposed to me  
now its onto the next stage 

WE ARE APPROVED!!!!!!
NOA1  31st July
APPROVAL 29th march
 
Recieved in post today 2nd April.  USCIS tracker no changed. 
 
I hope everyone else has a speedy approval and next stage. GOOD LUCK

I was just going to the uscis case status page to get the receipt number to put on the form to send to my congressman and I figured while I was there I'd go ahead and check the status, expecting to see the same thing I've been seeing for months but instead it said 
MY CASE WAS APPROVED! I guess it just happened because I haven't even got an e-mail about it yet.
I started to cry for joy. Um....I mean um, something got in my eyes and they teared up at that exact moment-crazy coincidence, huh. 

Well POE for Rakhel was Chicago its been 1 week since she got here! amazing how time flies! 
As far as customs go she said immigration was easy in O'Hare they just asked who was picking her up and reminded her about the 90 days several times and that was it. Now if we could only get some warm weather here in the Midwest lol she has been freezing since she got here  The below pic is from Navy Pier after it was taken she was ready to head inside.. Remember warm blankets and turning up the furnace if your anywhere where its still cold! 

Hello to all VJ family members.  As most of you know I am in the Philippines right now enjoying time with my better half.
 
Anyway......., Yesterday, or well I should say the 27th in the Philippines was my Fiancees birthday. This is the first time we have been able to be together for a birthday, so we wanted to really celebrate with a nice dinner and some wine. After getting ready and waiting for a Grab (Uber) if your not sure what grab is, my email notification went off on my phone. So looking for something to do I checked my email, and the email I received was from USCIS,  it said there was a case status change. I quickly grabbed my laptop, logged in, and WOW!!!! It said our case was Approved on the 26th!! Honestly I couldn't think of a more perfect way to get an approval notice! Almost like a storybook notice. We are together, it's her birthday, we were all dressed up and leaving to celebrate. Needless to say we now had two reasons, and of course we over celebrated, if that's such a thing. he he
 
Just wanted to let everyone know and thanks for all the support. I'm glad I could help in the past with scans and answering questions and will continue to help in the future.
 

Almost 8 months from the day I printed the 129f application at the local library (because who owns a printer anymore) and mailed it off, we have been approved for the ever elusive K-1 visa!! Hoping the fiance's close out with work goes smoothly so we can finally get a POE. Wishing everyone the best, especially @BVGApeach

We flew into JFK in new york. Had a nice 12 hour layover in Incheon, let us prepare for the long flight ahead and enjoy some of the restaurants and shops, and sleep in our hotel for 6 hours.
 
For the POE in JFK, I waited on the line with her. We were pulled off to go to the front as my son transformed into the spawn of satan while we were on the immigration line. It really helped as they wanted to get us the hell out of there as soon as possible. 
 
She went into the interview room without me. I made sure she took the devil-child with her and they did not ask anything besides where we would live. They just reminded her to make sure to complete the marriage within 90 days. 
 
I collected the luggage while she handled that, and off we went.
 
I hope the rest of you have an easy an interview and POE as we had. And I also hope you get a devil-child of your own!

Look what I am getting today!!!!  Holy $#it... This is going to be the longest day EVER!!!!

Just got out of our interview and we were approved!
 
I'm ridiculously excited and also a little bit sick because I was so nervous during the interview

Fiance had his interview today, and he was approved! Now just to wait for his visa and his arrival date!!
