Expedites are only on the basis of extreme health issues. I have seen one approved in 5 days due to the SO suffering from cancer. No, not a very good situation to get an expedite. I would rather wait. smile.gif

Hey maliciant. How's it been? I agree with you brother. The moment those NOA2s start comin' we are all going to hover like flies!!! I can't wait though! I love my August 08 K1 Family.

I have been thinking about this. Me and my SO are looking at having a traditional Filipino wedding ceremony in KY. How about you all?

Think about it, I actually do miss you! Hehehehe.

Hi Donna! I klnow how you feel. Although I am going to see my SO in December, it still feels like eons away. Hang in there okay? You want to drop by the Philippines? I would love to adopt you! LOL

BeTogetherSoon: Oh wow!!! That is wonderful news!!! I wish I could do the same. But, with my SO coming in December and me NOA2 probably arriving in December-January time frame, I am trying not to encourage myself to spend $1800 for a roundtrip ticket and risk the possibility of getting denied entry!

Miss you all guys!

Hi USBride,

I know exactly what you mean. Apart from the differences each of our cultures have, the distance makes it harder. Me and my SO just keep reminding each other that we have gone a long way and we have to give each other credit for all the good and bad times that make our bond stronger each time. It's not always the best of conversations, and true, due to the longing and pain of being so far from each other, we overlook the finer things in life which is where the whole relationship is based on: LOVE. Love, that has far more meaning than happy and wonderful times.

Me and my SO, talk everyday. If you can believe it, we even pray together on the phone. The whole experience is excruciatingly painful especially for a hardcore romantic like me. I try to live up to my faith that one blissful day, I would wake up each morning, having his face as the very first thing I see, sleep each night, having his arm around me and we will never be apart again. It just feels so good and so peaceful when we are together.

Oh yes... I can't wait for the day when I would hold him in my arms and we'll never be apart again. That being said, I would like to add that I would drop everything in a heartbeat if it means spending the rest of my life with him.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsAugust 2008 Filers
Oh well... Everyone is back on the route of discussing things when they get there. Honestly, I am a little happy myself when I found out that the standard wait time for the EAD is about 3 months. I have been working for the past 5 years - with no break- and I am slowly feeling like I am on the verge of burning out. So this whole wedding and K1 stuff is a good reason for me to have a break. Although, should our finances be good and we decide I would be better off at home, then I would not have any problems with it. We want to have a baby the soonest possible time too so we have better chances at it with everyday practice. biggrin.gif

On the NOA2, I am thankfully a little off of that obsession for now. I will probably check again at the end of October. And them sometime towards the end of November. Here in the Philippines, I have noticed, NOA2s received at approximately 3 months for VSC and 4-5 months for CSC. So I am hoping, mine would come at around end of November.

I just got home from the jeweller. My contact offered me a real good deal on the wedding rings and weddings jewelry. 3-5 months to pay, lifetime warranty, and free maintenance cleaning should we feel the need to do so. Me and my SO have our own design and we are so thrilled waiting for the finished product!

I get to choose the diamonds that they would use and it only takes them about 2-3 weeks to get the whole package done! I swear I was drooling over the samples she showed me. LOL

I missed everyone! How's everybody?

I can go ahead and make myself available to all of you and maybe I could do the research for your other concerns namely: recipes, embroidery, flowers, hairstyles, makeup and lots of other things. LOL

I will have a lot on my plate I wouldn't know what to do with myself.

Donna - I think your fiance is very much open to the idea of you working when you get to the US. I, on the other hand, am going to be taking care of my SO and my daughter and get me pregger the soonest possible time! I am in a leadership role with my present employer and I will be the big huncho at home when I get to the US of A. How very exciting! LOL

That's spot on Donna! I so don't want to go back. My SO said I could opt not to go back. But hey, that would mean we would be really makling out private joke a reality - Him my meal ticket and me his Filipina housemaid. LOL

I love being able to really rest and I kinda miss workl. I absolutely do not miss my boss though. He is a guy who forgot to grow b*lls. LOL

How's everybody been? Oh well, the wonderful August 2008 group are gossipy as usual. I feel lucky to be part of this group.

Peace out!

oh really? they're lovely! I love the styles... not very common too, which is very good. I checked out the veils - I especially liked the one with the embroidery or maybe that was lace stitches or something. I actually have my wedding gown design made now and I am lookling at December to have them start off with it. I am lookling at about $600-700 all in - veil, tiara, underwear, wrap/jacket, a handbag, along with bridal cords, pillows. The cords are because I am looking at having a traditional Filipino wedding ceremony. How about you guys?

Thank you all guys for being there for me. I am going to this CFO seminar tomorrow at about 7am my time. That means I won't be here long for today. Yesterday, I checked out some sites on the net about hair and makeup. How much do you think makeup artists charge for weddings?
