they clarified that the affidavit of support that they are issuing is really without red ribbon. i believe that the problem lies in the immigration department. even our embassy people haven't received, yet, any memo or circular concerning the matter. i actually sent an email to the Immigration department back home, but it might take ages before somebody reads it. can't wait to go home to search a long-lost friend in facebook who happens to be connected with Immigration. i just remembered him and will send him a message regarding this matter. siguro, we could also send a message to our Ambassador thru facebook about this sad plight. at least he could help us...
