I know that there's a lot of people right now who are going through this roller coaster ride kinda feeling because of all the wait getting approved with their K-1 Visa Petition. Until now, I still can't believe that I'm already here in the USA with my husband together with the new addition of our family, our son.
I could still feel the morning breeze as well as the crowing of the chicken outside our apartment in the Philippines that morning when I got up and received one of the best news ever. My husband, then fiance, woke me up with his phone call at around 8:00 A.M telling me that our petition was approved. I can't believe how excited I was that time that it even made me jump up and down my bed. I thought, "Well, this is it. I'm really getting closer to the day that I'm gonna be with my fiance, forever". Thirteen days later, we found our appointment dates online and another eleven days after that, I received the packet 4 from the Embassy. The packet 4 contained documents from the embassy including the letter of appointment and some forms that I needed to fill up and bring with me to the Consulate during my interview.
I was so nervous but at the same time, there was this undescribeable feeling of excitement deep within that I just really can't explain. I then started gathering all the required documents that I needed to have with me for my medical and interview in Manila.
Two months later after that, was my medical and the following week was my interview which I have actually posted already in my previous posts.. It was such a nerve-wracking but really exciting moment of my life. Matter of fact, it's a Dream Come True especially when my visa arrived in our hotel room and I even thought about making a humungous copy of it, put it in a frame and put it up on our living room wall.
I think it is a lot different when you are finally together with your fiance/husband because you wouldn't really be that anxious anymore about any approvals especially with immigration stuffs compared to when you were still in your country waiting for that special moment, for that golden letter of appointment from the embassy. So, I guess the only thing you need to do while waiting for the approval of your petition is relax and just keep in mind that no matter what, you will be together with the love of your life.
