hi all..!

I've ben keeping an eye on this thread for a while as my wife and i also filled in November but never posted, I'm really pleased for all of you that have got appovals.!

but i was wondering if any one had any idea's about the CSC as everyone with approvals seems to have been transfered from VSC.

our case was recieved on the 17th of November '08 and so far we haven't had one touch, nothing seems to have happened at all for us.!

sorry for whining, but the wait is killing us both and i was hoping someone might have a clue.

congratulations again to eveyone

Hi guys! I have some good news for you...

I called my husband and he told me that our NOA2 hard copy arrived in the mail today.

So I'm pretty sure I'm one with those approval from last week. He forget to told me when was the date we we're approved but I believe it was before this week ends.

I'm sooo happy! My time being together with hubby is pretty soon....

I'm just hoping that we'll sail smooth in NVC.

To those waiting for the approval, just hang on there.

Amazing! Congratulations! I don't understand how the system works, but you too proved me wrong. Good luck on your journey. I only feel so sorry for the 100's who wait in line in front of you watching all of those behind them get approved. I really don't understand this random system. Anyway...your faith made the difference.

Cheers!

Thank you... Thank you guys!!! kath, Kristine steveltx, and Naomi.. :dance: :dance: :dance:

I told yah, "there can be miracle, when you believe. though hope is frail, its hard to give." lol

My hubby is still busy with the series of exams he's in, so he still doesn't have time to call NVC to check if we already have case number. I don't know if I am allowed to call NVC though.

Hopefully guys, I'll catch up on those who are already notches over than us.

later.:)
