Ms.Z, I think that this will be a good thing for you!! I think all those that were moved to California will have an approval by the end of August! I know that you have already been waiting so long, but at least you can know that something is being done now and you can relax just a little bit... I hope things go well for you!

Congrats jedinite! You're up there with that yellow line :-)

MsZ - great suggestion to email those who mailed petitions prior to 2008, but I really don't have the time to track down all 14 profiles and PM individually. It really is hard to keep track of the stats of people who don't update their details or participate in threads, yet I don't blame people for wanting to get their mind out of this website when the waiting gets too much. If you have some time on your hands, maybe you could PM those people and update me or better yet someone could cut the list in half with you. Any offers?

sgr, Delicia set this spreadsheet up to ony track IR1/CR1 journeys, not K3 but congrats on both approvals.
