Congrats Beth. Hopefully your approval comes soon. I'm going to call today, if my husband doesn't. But I'm sure a nervous person. I hate calling people. xD

Sweetie, be kind, and cheerful to them, think of it as this. you smile at a person, the other person cant help but to smile back. You will be fine, I too hated calling, but I did. You can do it. Smile when you talk to them, and they will sence it over the phone, :):):):):) SMILE, SMILE, SMILE!!!

Truly happy!!!

New life, new adventures, and a new attitude.

I'm actually an extremely bubbly person, but it doesn't really...project when I'm online. Thank for the advice! I'll tell everyone how it goes. I'm just so...nervous. I hate going through customs too, they're always mean to me 80% of the time D;

BTw, Beth may I know again how to check if I also have touches? Ours is still pending. I promise to really remember it next time. Sorry to ask again. Thank you.

Nor my dear, touches mean truly nothing, I just needed to see it, it may be nothing, BUT it lifted my sinking spirits and soul.

Many get approval with no change in case status, no touches, its been tough for me lately, over whelmed at work, worried about my husband, and late last night, I found bathroom sink pipe has been leaking for a while, now I have to replace parts of floor under sink, one thing after another lately, truly has been piling up on me, so this touch means the world to me, even if it means nothing.

Hi Beth.. it's good to have a touch.. that means the officer starts to work on your documents again.. hmmmm, I smell approval.. :thumbs: :thumbs:

Keep the faith and keep postive :)

I never called every day, twice a week, every call was with a friendly officer there, now a person who calls and yells and complains those are the ones most likely to go back to bottom of pile. Especially if they call everyday.

Truly happy!!!
