Bad news everyone. I'm out of the race. I got two emails, one this morning (last night, China time) that said my petition was transfered (to where?) and a few hours later, another that said it was approved. I was asleep, so I just got them a few minutes ago. Good luck to those of you still in the race.

I am happy to say we entered and lost the race in one day! We got our approval email this morning!!!! :dance::thumbs::dance::thumbs::dance::thumbs::dance:

I just told Sio To over the phone and she immediately started shouting to her sisters in Cantonese, it is such a huge relief! I had convinced myself there was a problem with the app or something.

Now I am off to start reading up on what to do next, I had stop researching during the wait, and suddenly feel unprepared for the next step!! I hope the rest of our November folks are also getting approved this week. And thanks to everyone for the positive vibes the past couple weeks, it really has kept me up as I was getting very low over this.

Thanks everyone. Maybe it also helped that my birthday is tomorrow. Hopefully my Leilei will be able to join me in the US by August or September, but for now we can just enjoy our time together. She's making breakfast for me as I type this. :)

Congrats Jeremy&SioTo! It feels good, doesn't it? Don't worry Jenn and Nick, you'll get yours soon.
