Hello...

I am beside myself with happiness today !

I had a few minutes to spare today between patients, and decided just for the hell of it, to call the NVC, so I could hear once again, that our checklist is under review...

...something made me press 5, and speak to someone....

I spoke to a very sweet girl named Nina, who told me ....

CASE COMPLETE !!!!!!

hahahahhahah !!!!!!

:dance::dance::dance:

It's been a long 2 years of legal red tape throughout my divorce, our paperwork, our NY wedding that never happened, our co-sponsor dropping out, our RFE, etc...etc...etc...

It's time to start cleaning out the closets and make some space for my man !!!

:D

(I still cannot believe it-someone pinch me !)

Congratulations and best of luck on the remainder of your journey.

Everything I respond to is from personal knowledge, research or experience and I am in no means a lawyer or do I claim to be one. Everyone should read, research and be responsible for your own journey.

Thanks everyone !

I am ecstatic about this...I had been in the worst mood for weeks...road rage, talking to myself, and just being plain miserable. My anxiety level had risen to the point where I was thinking of tapping into my Boxer's Xanax ! (she has seperation anxiety)

Usually I am such an optimist. I can find something to smile or laugh about in most situations, but recently I had lost my spark b/c of this-I felt as if the end would never come. I know we have the last lap to go in this triathalon of waiting, but I am just so happy that this is coming to a close now. I am looking toward the future with a smile. :D

Thanks for the good wishes. So many of you have helped me along the way, with support, advice and kind words. I thank you.

And so, the last lap begins...
