"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

CJ- awesome, how'd you get the word?

email? website? snailmail?

That was a hilarious pic of the guy in Afro...

I got two e-mails precisely at 2 PM. Two txt messages on phone gave me the indication first.

Yeah, you know, CJ-V's approval is a real sign of hope for us March & April people, that the end could be within sight. Based on what's gone on over the last four weeks, I was starting to seriously question whether VSC would even finish March by the end of the year, and I was watching his case real closely for "signs of life" from that place. His timeline is close to mine, I think I would drop dead from shock if I heard anything in the next couple of weeks.

Sending out mojo to everyone who's been waiting just too da*n long, and one more congrats to my Wall St. bud.

CJ-G

oooh? you used your text message email address? nice idea......

Hey Vasani, Many many congratulations for your approval. I am real happy for you. You were one of the people for whom I was eagerly waiting for an approval. Good to see that VSC are approving petitions. I hope that all the rest of us - Feb to April filers get approved before December. Its not an over optimistic hope but rather a realistic and much needed one.

Good luck on your NVC process. I am sure you have read loto's guide and ling ling's guide for your reference.

Congratulations! :dance: I wish the best for both of you. You feel so relieved once you get over that 1st hurdle and a burst of steely willpower and energy swings your way. All the best--Amor1

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!
