Horray!! My visa application for Vernie has been approved! We are about half-way through the process now i think, and will hopefully get the visa in a few months. It's not for sure yet, but we are hopeful. The rest of the process will be completed through the U.S. embassy in Manila. Up to this point we have just been waiting, but now we will be more active by filling out forms, going for interviews, and seminars. Keep in touch.
