Now i'm doing all the jamaican dance, after 215 days no touch, finally. Approved Dec 31 touch again on Jan 01 (strange) way to start the new year, vermont rollin in approvals brace yourself may and june filers they are coming. It was a long ride now i'm done with VSC, i guess for now unto NVC.

Congrats to you Candyland. We just got approved today. I called USCIS at 3:30 today because we were almost to 180 days and the girl told me that they were processing March 2008, so I was disappointed, then I checked my email at 8:30 pm and there was the approval notification. It came at 5:30. This is going to be a wonderful year. Congrats again to you and the rest of the July filers yours should be coming soon.
