I GOT APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

I checked my email first thing, nothing, then went to CIS website, checked my status and saw there was a touch 9/4/08, so I clicked my case # and OMGOMGOMG it said 'Approval notice sent'.......!!!!!!!!!

I am SOOOOOOOOO relieved because I was halfway expecting an RFE because of a couple of issues(Govi's PP photo and my name change) but no I think it's for real....

I am in shock right now......

Congrats. The tough part of your journey is over. From here it will be easy sailing.
