Ladies and gentlement, if you could excuse me for but a moment. . I wish to do the happy dance. :dancing:

Though we've yet to receive any confirmation of approval, we did just get a touch in the last couple of hours. Just knowing that my petition has been handled certainly is a good sign. Anyone else receive a touch?

I have told my students about my fiancée and our visa journey. They are quite interested and regularly ask about her. I try to teach them about Thai culture, language, geography, etc. These students have grown up in downtown Baltimore city, so their worldview is radically different from hers. I love sharing the creepy, strange and gross stories the most as I feel they're most memorable.

I taught in the middle school in the South Bronx for 7 years. Inner city living is difficult. Most of my students were from PR or DR. They were very interested in my volunteer work in Nicaragua...that's how I met my Fiance. I miss talking with them about crazy stuff. They were my inspiration to travel and learn Spanish. I keep in touch with a few of them in Myspace. The waiting is getting really hard now but I am trying to keep my chin up. Slow day so far.

That is exciting. Nothing for me yet...just checked. Did you read the fine print? I love it!

* Note on "Last Updated" date:

Your case may have a new "Last Updated" date and you may receive an Email Notification of your case being updated, without the status of the case changing. This is due to internal USCIS processing being performed on your Case. This will be reflected in the "Last Updated" date, but may not result in a different status message.

Checked my mail today to find a letter from Johns Hopkins regarding the graduation ceremony, with several other letters behind it. My heart raced a moment, however nothing from USCIS. But a package that did make my heart sing was from my fiancée. She knitted me another sweater, this one much thicker and heavier. She's just too good to me!

So I was kinda bummed out today, been a week since the last touch, since then no email, no change on the website, no nothing...I opened the mailbox and there is a letter from the Department of Homeland Security - Approval notice!!!!!!!!!!! :dancing:

WE GOT APPROVEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!

This has been the best support group I could have asked for, except for my fiance of course. Couldn't have found anyone else who understood us this much!!!!! This has been such a long wait and of course there is another step to go but thank you all so much for your support! I'm not going away, don't worry. I hope to be in here for the long run!!!!!!

By the way it was approved on 2/19, the day of the first touch, with no letter of intent from Josue, and forwarded from NVC to Guatemala City 2/25!!
