Waiting and waiting.....and waiting!

It's been awhile since we have received news from the National Visa Center. They said in their letter that they will be sending our folder to the US Embassy here in Manila after one week. That was April 10th when we received a letter from them. It will be just 2 more days and it's May already. I am planning to call the Embassy or Department of State next week to ask them if we have an interview schedule already. Right now, we are hoping maybe an August interview.

In the waiting, some things have happened...at work & at home. My great grandfather had just passed away last night. His 100th birthday was supposed to be celebrated this coming Sunday. But he didn't make it until that day. But we all know that he had lived a good life. And he had suffered a lot already and that the timing was just right. At least now, we know that he is not suffering from the pain and being stuck in his wheelchair. I believe he is happy now in the after life.

My sister just had news that she has an interview at the Embassy already this coming June. She had applied for a job in the States and now she will be interviewed soon...before me. Hopefully we will be able to fly out the country around the same time.

And so...the waiting continues!
