Best of Luck!!! My first bit of education from being in the military when I was in, was the first thing to learn about the US government is you are waiting to wait. HOW TRUE TO FORM IS THAT ??!?!?! lol. My husband and I have just started ours as well although we have already received our first NOA1 (only just) so we can kind of keep notes together and help one another out if you like!

Keep the faith!!

Love is not an EMOTION or FEELING....
