hi bellaluna, its always scary right before, if you were well pepared maybe there wont be any problems. Casa is very un predictable, did u send good evidences, etc etc. most going thru there the first time dont realize how important each step can be. Also alot depends on the agent you receive to talk to, some are polite and nice some arent its just kinda the luck of the draw. So now since its so close just stay strong and wait and see, you may do fine with no problems. BUT if you find problems come back and let us know, there can be help :thumbs:
