2 years na kami sis. Ang hinihingi ng nila is at least 1 year.
Minsan hindi talaga natin alam ang gusto nila. Pero sigurado ako na hindi mo hahayaang masayang lahat ng efforts nyo. Ibuhos mo na lahat, buong story nyo, dun sa letter na hinihingi nila. Kung may mga additional proofs ka pa, isama mo na rin. I'll be praying for you sis. Just keep the faith.

Sis pinagdaanan ko din naman ang paghihintay. Magkaiba man ng sitwasyon, naiintindihan ko ang nararamdaman mo. Basta lakasan mo lang ang loob mo at wag na wag kang mawawalan ng pag-asa. You have a wonderful man who's always got your back and your kids. I will be praying for you sis. Be strong.:)

Although waiting is hard, it is necessary. Waiting takes faith. Nobody wants to just sit around and wait, and Gods not asking you to just sit around and do nothing...its more that you need to rest in him and put your complete faith in him. If God's asking you to wait, then ask him to help you wait and give you something to do while you wait. Pour your life into a ministry, into your family, into studying more...whatever your feel God wants you to do, do it with faith! Why trade a lifetime of love for a dollar's worth of pleasure now? God has a plan for your life, don't trade that in for the devil's plan. ;)

hi...nakapag submit na kami ng mga evidences (Affidavit) from my co-workers, owners ng mga apartment ko and family...still praying for my declaration with Him...

Just want to share, talagang lahat ng hirap at sakit pinagdaanan namin from the time that I have received the letter at ng asawa ko because he was given a copy also. During those times andun ung iyak, pagod, pag-iisip, puyat for almost 1 week na halos 30 minutes ka na lng umidlip dahil kailangan kong sabayan ung time ng Atty. namin. then kahit walang tulog kailangan ko magpunta ng Manila at kahit bumabagyo para ipasign mga Affidavit and hanggang sa the day before ng submission nagka problem pa din.

Pero naisip namin ng asawa ko na ganun talaga and alam namin na after lahat ng sacrifices is ibibigay ni Lord ang the best for us. Mahal ang Attorney's fee, ang total charge sa amin is $8,800 (tax and surcharge included), umabot ng 32hrs kze so $250 per hour siya for 18 Affidavits. Mababa lang sweldo ng asawa ko. Pati Atty namin nadagdag pa sa problema namin. Pero God is so Good kze si Lord pa din ang kumikilos para sa amin. ung $8,800 naging 3mos to pay, nadaan lahat sa prayers. Sabi nga nothing is impossible with Him.

Emern...tama you need to consult sa Attorney. Kapag Atty. ang nag email sa CEM ilang minutes lang sumasagot agad sila. If ever na makapag decide kayo na mag Attorney kayo, gawa ka na ng timeline niyo detailed dapat para ung Atty. will be convinced din at para mas mabilis siya makakapag isip ng isusulat niya sa Affidavit niyo. TImeline is very important kze dun magbebased lahat.

Huwag kang mawalan ng pag-asa kze sa lahat ng nangyayari dun tayo nagiging matatag. Kasama ka pa din sa prayers ko at sa ating lahat na dumadaan sa ganitong pagsubok. He was just testing our Faith and renewing it.

sis. we should be thankful that you we`re not given an outright refusal and if ever may interview ka, mas lalong maganda because you will be given the chance to defend your relationship. pinakamahirap talaga ang conjugal. just pass all the evidence that you had especially those were you talked about your plans for the future, about your kids, about each other`s families and don`t include those were you talked about the sponsorship (may nabasa ako dati na refuse because of emails talking about sponsorship). good luck sis and we`ll be praying.

better kze na from there ang Atty. niyo mas alam nila ung words and terms na gagamitin sa Affidavit maybe because they were used to for such cases, tsaka syempre mas alam nila law duon. Kaya kahit mahal sacrifice muna kami for 3 mos ng asawa ko. sabi ko na nga lng sa kanya okay lang na ganun ung charges worth it naman dahil alam ko na may plans si Lord sa amin...sa ating lahat. :D.... ;)

sis, nabasa ko ung ginawa mong another topic for your case. Sa amin kze, sabi nung atty, there were some cases na after nagsubmit ng statutory declaration/affidavit if the VO was convinced no interview or calls from witnesses will be initiated granted naman ang visa...pero if may doubt pa din sila normally iniinform ang mga representative/lawyers for the interview...from there if convinced sila they will tell you if igagrant nila or for refusal...

sabi ko nga din sa asawa ko mas gusto ko ung interview kze dun nila makikita kung ano ang totoo and if gaano na tayo nahihirapan...emotionally sobrang nahihirapan na tayo...baka nga mismo sa harap ng VO maiyak pa ako dahil sa pagod, hirap at lungkot...also, advised din ng atty if may interview better to get an interpreter, kze ung interpreter can have a good choice of words, kze nga naman if tayo/ako..may kasamang emotions...baka mamali tayo sa sasabihin natin...para everything is in place/control...also during interview daw dapat handa tayo na mahumiliate...kze they will ask same questions again and again in different approach...kaya ung atty ko sa email pa lang pinapractice na niya ako...offensive questions are likely may be ask...
