I don't think the congressman was any help in terms of expediting this, but they were a great moral support and gave me a better insight into this process. I highly recommend those waiting for their approvals contact your congressman, but don't have high expectations unless you have a genuine expedite criteria or are outside of processing times....

anyhow, i am besides myself now.....NVC here I come!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance:

I received this notice via e-mail today at 2 PM when I was least expecting it. It's amazing how life has ways to surprise you when you least expect it!

Desiman -

you were absolutely right...only one touch and bang it was done...only if it hadn't taken 9 months, but then again I am just happy to move forward.

CJ-G, thanks man...it felt unreal when i saw the txt message on my phone (that's how I had configured my mail account). I hope you get this feeling soon....you are not far away.

and finally,

cmnb - your positive attitude has always helped me maintain mine in this process...thanks soooo much for your support.

I called Anu in the middle of the night over there and she is soooo excited...just went to sleep an hour ago.

Congratz! very very good news. I have to admit I was getting anxious I didnt see other approvals today. and to see yr case approved was very good news. for u, because u were getting pessimistic lately, and for the rest of us waiting, because it sows things r moving towards our files. wish u to be done with NVC as fast as possible.
