Grace, as usual galing ulit ako sa USEM and the same thing and sagot ulit ni Miss X, este sa Window X ( nagpapakita kse un lady sa Window X ng cleavage he he). under review pa rin daw. hu hu hu can't help myself but to feel sad again. My children were so bored and so impatient waiting our visa. Minsan naaawa na ako sa kanila pero I'm comforting them at nililibang ko na lang sila. Haay! You can can ACTIVE travel and tours sa SM Noth edsa, The Block, look for anna. You can call at 4414519 or 4410758

Jeffcloe,

Here's a lucky cheeseburger and visa dance for you too!

Thankssss... hopefully I can share some cheeseburger soon...

For now I can share my visa dance (hehehe gustong gusto ko ito gawin kasi nahalata ko pampa swerte LOL)

:dance: :dance: :dance:

jeffcloe, yehey, malapit na tayo! Lord, you really answers all our prayers.

Hello Koya Manny haha

pag ba naka rcv nang magic text from Delbros na "we are now preparing for dispatch...and so on... eh mga ilang days po bago namin ma recieve ang Visa?

Coz...me and my daughter rcvd the magic text from Delbros just this evening.

yahooooo...God is so Good

Grace, Kita kita.

Isang lucky cheeseburger at visa dance para sa iyo!

Wow Grace! May visa ka na! yehey! God is really good! Congrats and happy for you! Lord Thank you! and for all who have no visa yet, let's do the Visa Dance :dance:

Guess what? Just got off the phone with my wife. She is in as much disbelief as I am. Her visa was released yesterday. It's truly time for the visa dance

Dphus! God is really good! Congrats and it's a merry christmas for both of you! Lord Thank you!

As I write this, Im leaving behind all the painful memories I had in this journey. My dear vj friends, this is it! Im not dreaming, my visa is finally here!!!

As corny as it may sound, please allow me to make my ala Oscar awards speech.

First of all, I would like to say that I have forgiven my first consul (its so amazing what a visa can do huh? lol!) and my scumbag ex. All is forgiven and forgotten now. My journey hasn't been smooth as everyone knows, but it was not entirely horrible. For one, it made me become matured and I gained knowledge. In fact, there were lawyers and one judge who asked me if I studied law because I know a lot about annulments. HAHAHA! Another thing, I gained friends and these are quality friends. I got a lot of PMs giving me support and offering help and prayers. In this regard, I would like to mention a few people. You are all part of my story...

PINAYWIFE- the Gabriela Silang of the Philippines forum, my mentor (like my kung fu master, hahaha!)

dbears- my batchmate (January filer), one of the vjers that caught my attention the first time I joined vj cuz she always makes sense without being arrogant, and also my spiritual adviser. Thank you for always dropping by to ask how I am and for the support and being there to congratulate me.

Kathryn41- from Canada forum. Thank you for your inspiring words.

ManilaIdaho- my instant bestfriend. You will be amazed at how this lady handles her problem- with laughter. She cheered me up during my down days.

Honeybadger- we have the same consul and that's an icebreaker for us. We both had nightmares after the interview. Hey, we can laugh about it now.

Nickoftime- my instant attorney! Offered to help me when I was having problems with my documents. She didnt send me a bill! HAHAHA! Joke lang attorney!

JoseRizal- my analyst and psychologist! My napakasakit kuya eddie listener! Kuya, don't ask me why you. You helped not only me but a lot of people.

Jamesnrei- for starting a thread that helped a lot of people. I was at the top of your list but I know you felt bad that I stayed at the top for so long! HAHAHA!

Mike & Zandy- Zandy cried with my story. They would always PM me and still remembered to congratulate me.

And to everyone (you know who you are) who cried with me, laughed with me, offered help and support and prayed for me, I cant thank you enough.

Also, I would like to say a few words about my fiancee... Stephen had always been positive about this journey. I never really felt that he lost faith that we will get it. The process was so difficult but the relationship is stress free! I think that's how we survived. Stephen would always say- "I will wait as long as it takes Ria because you are the only woman for me". This is the preview of the man that I am going to marry. This is how I know that we will last a lifetime!

And the most important of all... God. Thank you so much. With you nothing is impossible. Thank you for the wonderful Christmas gift. Thank you for the miracle!

In behalf of my fiancee Stephen, I would like to thank the awrd giving bodies for giving me "The LEGEND" award!

Rhia, you really deserve it! Congratulations sis! It's a long journey but it's worth it! Go girl!!!

Hay! I just arrived here in Nueva Ecija. Guys, I got my visa na! Thanks Kuya Jose Rizal for accompanying me to have my CFO sticker. I had to go back to our house in Manila after having lunch with christian'sgem and JRizal. Visa arrived around 11am while I was at St. Mary's attending the seminar. Buti na lang lapit ng St. Mary's sa house namin plus konti lang tao so it was so easy lang. It was a great day for the three of us. Our day ended with a text to christian'sgem from delbros. I think its the cheeseburger that did it. HAHAHA! CONGRATS GEM!!!

prettymommy, mauna ka sa akin.

pretty mommy and to all na interesadong magemail, di ganun kahirap. eto sample yung sinend ko. kung maawa sila sa drama, ako the next day nakakuha na ako ng reply... my email went like this:

" Greeting you a pleasant day. I appeal to your office today to inquire about me and my son's visas. We were interviewed at the Manila U.S. Embassy on September 18, 2008 and I was told our cases (MNL2007***** and **) were already forwarded to the Consul Officer and is undergoing reviews or document verification. It has been 8 weeks since I got an update about our cases. As I followed every necessary process, I can’t help thinking that the wait is longer than usual and I want to know what is going on.

My husband is with the U.S. Army stationed in Fort Bragg and just got back there from Afghanistan last May of 2008. His unit will be leaving again this January of 2009 and we are hoping that we could be reunited with him for the coming holidays. I am asking for your consideration of shortening our wait to be with my husband, before the deployment. I will really appreciate your help. "

hope sharing you this could help para makapagconstruct kayo ng email to send them... thanks to bro j.rizal for sharing the link.

thanks mai! Actually ganyan din ka dramatic yung letter ko last week and fortunately they replied naman pero kung ano yung haba ng sinulat mo eh sobrang tipid naman and reply nila.

magdeliver kaya ng visa DELBROS s monday?

Monday is a holiday! Thanks Zarjo ha! pag nakarecieve ako ng ganyan, may cheeseburger ka!!!
