If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

Suit yourself! LOL You must have stronger kidleys than I do! I still come home from trips and it takes me two weeks to level off so I'm not up 3-4 times like a lil ol lady! I decided my last trip that I would just go and deal with life as it came--made things MUCH simpler-but watch out for the subway in Egypt if you manage to get tehre--- YUCK! AVOID those toilets at ALL COSTS!!!!! Toodles!

grrrrrrrr Travis didn't tell me what I wanted to hear today either. Still AP.

So then I asked what would happen if I fired up the Cr1 at NVC and he said....get this..."why would you want to do that?" Oh to pay $400 instead of $1010 and avoid the AOS. I totally confuzzled him.

hello to my jedi librarian friend :)

I got thru to nvc finally and I think the operator was in a kind mood.

he said we were still in AP, but to call back in a week or so and "maybe we can giv you another answer" :unsure:

thats a new one.

how about this? how about I call everyday until you tell me that the case has been sent to Amman... :devil:
