I paused for a while, still holding my mouse, bowed down, closed my eyes facing the floor and said "Thank's God!", with a sign of relief.
At my previous post about sending my passport to CVAC, I had explained there on how to go to their office. You can follow that post here.
What I Felt at the CVAC Office?
With no time to waste, I went out of our office and headed to CVAC. I had to hurry because the collection schedule of the passports was from 2:00pm to 4:00pm only.
My heart was beating fast, feet felt numb and had butterflies in my stomach. This is weird, even if we were already informed from the previous month that our visas are approved, the excitement was still intense.

Knowing that our passports will be on my hands and touching it in a little while, had me realized that time really flies fast, and now, this is the real thing!
At the 11th floor, one lady applicant was in front of me, holding her folder. I can also sense how she feels right at the moment. She's so excited to go inside the CVAC main door, and so was I.
When it was my turn, the guard gave me a queuing number and I'm the second person to collect. My hands trembled from the excitement. I can't explain why I am feeling this way, it could be because of the FSW Applicant Syndrome.
I handed her my Identification Card (IC) and the CVAC receipt for verification purposes. She went inside the small room and came back bringing 4 big brown envelopes.
Each envelope has a sticker on it, labelled with our names and particulars. She instructed me to inspect the details of each passports before leaving the room.
I sat down, hands still shaking. As I ripped off the sealed envelope, I saw my passport initially opened at the center page, with the most valuable sticker in the World, my FSW Immigrant Visa!!!
The feeling of fulfillment is within me at that moment, I was at cloud nine. I can still recall the years of anxieties that I have been through, it was refreshed at an instant by this one thin piece of sticker.

The attendant pressed the button for the next queue number, and it was my turn.I handed her my Identification Card (IC) and the CVAC receipt for verification purposes. She went inside the small room and came back bringing 4 big brown envelopes.
