Hello everyone!! Thank you so much for all your kind words. Know that your support really meant a lot to me while i was waiting and seeing everyone around me getting approved. We were approved EXACTLY 5 months after the got our petition!

I know that some of us are still waiting and I know the wait is hard and you ask yourself "why not us???" But it's coming...when you'll least expect it! It will just make the suprise even more powerful. but I do hope with all my heart that they get to you ASAP! Hopefully it's gonna be a very productive week for VSC!

Ha Ha You never know that maybe one of the interview questions??? "So tell me, what does hump day mean in Texas" :rofl:

Well, I can't speak for native texans, because I wasn't born and raised here.

"Hump day" usually means Wensday because it is the middle of the work week and it's all down hill to the weekend. For those of us with a low, mind in the gutter sense of humor however, . . . :whistle:

So far so good. Got the hard copy of the NOA2. I guess I should check up with NVC to see where the applications is now, because it has been about a week since they approved us.

Cris wants to get here yesterday if possible. :reading: She quit her job Friday. I do wish she'd held on to it until we got an interview date, but what are you gonna do? :bonk:

What about you? What's new?

Hey, you know I just noticed you don't have a signature with the latest status. What's up with that?

I dont know about the signature thingy??? Did I have one before??? Ha Ha I am useless! Well lots been going on with me...my son graduated from the Army last Friday so I went to watch him which was great, and on Monday I met my biological father for the first time!! The last time he saw me I was three... as you can imagine it was a very emotional, however great day :yes: !!! Nothing happening on the Visa front... Mike is remaining optimistic... however I am reading to much into the 6 month + gang and longer bless .... hoping we are not heading that way!!! It will be 6 months on the 1st of April... how appropriate April fools :rofl: Good to hear things are moving along for you, it will all work out in the end! I can understand Chris wanting to be there yesterday cause I am exactly the same!!! M x
