ok so Friday 13th - shmirthteenth!!!!

@LoveMyTico - you should keep your fingers crossed more often!!!! I got mine crossed for you and I'm really sending you all of my best vibes ever!

Just a few hours after getting the A# change notice I get the ever so anxiously awaited APPROVAL e-mails!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not getting any sleep tonight, neither is hubby - see as how i woke him up at 5:30am..... hehehe kicking.gif

Happy but totally stunned now blink.png still mad it took this long and that nbc let 8 mos go by without regard for any of us as people, but relieved that now i can finally begin to envision the future... home, babies, peace of mind.... without as much anxiety..... it's the little things in life... tongue.png

I'm updating the spreadsheet now (CSC)

So TreezyTran, the next steps are: they send our files to nvc, who then takes their sweet time logging in our cases into their system, we then get a number from them to track our case by (i think), we get to pay them a fee, once they get the money one of the forms online becomes available for us to fill out, we have to send them also the rest of the forms like the financial support affidavit and our originals and copies of marriage cert etc... copy of beneficiary's passport and passport pics and once they chew it all out they will set up the appt with our embassies for the beneficiary and send the beneficiary instructions on where to get the medical done. ... kind of summarized, there's good guidance on VJ, join the nvc thread for december they have lots of good advice.

CONGRATULATIONS X10 ! ! ! ! !

I am so happy my crossed fingers work for someone !!!!

Keep your fingers and toes corssed for us !! My husband is so frustrated. Its hard to explain why it takes so long...

Keep your fingers and toes corssed for us !! My husband is so frustrated. Its hard to explain why it takes so long...

Thank you!!!!!!!!!! Got everything crossed for you guys! Looks like tx is starting to wake up.... Yes it's impossible to explain why it takes so long, especially since we've seen these approvals 1-2 weeks after transfer - just goes to show they technically could have processed us in 1-2 weeks 8 months ago!!!! Makes me livid just thinking about it.
