Yes, that's right. It's really Visa x 3. It took about 6-7 weeks to prepare for requirements, submit application and get the results.
It was the start of January when I was thinking of where to go for the Holy Week (IKR, it's too early to plan). I was watching Rated K then and they had a feature on Korea. "Why not?" I thought. I wanted to experience the cherry blossoms! :) I asked my mom if she wanted to go with me, and without asking twice, she said yes. It would be my mom's first time to apply for a visa so we just tried our luck.
While preparing for our requirements, a friend of mine told me that she's going to be assigned in Japan and invited me to visit her during her stay. Guess what? She would still be there during Holy Week. There's this "why not?" thought again. This would mean free accommodation. However, the challenge here would be the visa application. But, it would be worth a try.
Since I would already be preparing for visa applications, I've decided to apply for a US visa. And so, the preparations began... bank statements, certificate of employment (yes, I've requested for CoE every other week), birth certificates, itinerary.
