well, in no small part due to the help of Ate Loterly, my fiancee called the embassy again today...with some help, with a script from Loterly...Abby had gotten yelled at before for calling the direct line instead of the toll line...she was told just ask the status of "your papers"...and guess what? it worked!!

she was approved...grace at the embassy didnt have the release dates yet...and wasnt sure how long it would take DELBROS to deliver since she lives in the province...but we are guessing within a week or so, she will have the visa in hand

what a happy day....we are getting SO close to the day when we are once again in each others arms....i cant wait!!!

just wanted to share the good news :)

and a big old W00T!!!!!

congrats eric. abby is a day closer to you now.. everything will always work if we put together prayers, good scripts and talking nicely. :)

eric i wrote abby and told her to call redrose at delbrose and coordinate with her so she can just meet the dispatcher of abby's visa packet where it will arrive, so she wont have to wait for 5-7 days especially if her place is difficult to locate... this advice worked for another vjer named joe_joy. she got her visa already and didnt have to wait for a week. i got this idea from my best friend vjer jom, who actually did the same back in 2007, due to difficulty in her address.

may God bless you and abby on your next journey together.. you will surely be successful coz you know how prayers work.. :)

abby deserved to be rewarded for what she has gone through dealing with bad moods :D

keep the faith-Loterly
