Thank you God!!

I logged in to check the petition status a few minutes ago for the 1983476375 time today. Honestly I wasn't expecting much of a change from the dreaded May 25 touch date I've grown to hate. And I saw today's date on there. Nervously I clicked on the case number as I expected a silly RFE....but I saw the word Approved...and went crazy!!! I called my wife and woke her up. I told her to make sure she was sitting down and then I broke the great news to her. I have been going crazy for the past 15 minutes.

NVC here I come!

For all those waiting and especially those who have waited a long time, let me tell you I know what you are going through. This is my second petiton as I filed for my ex-wife few years back. That first one was selected for additional processing and it was pure H3LL waiting for that one to get approved. It took 16 months from start to finish only to end up being cancelled days before the interview.

I sincerely hope each and every one of you will get the approval notice soon. Please know that you are all in my prayers.
