Everyone, I´ve been approved today. I can´t begin to express my happiness, but at the same time, I would like to leave a word to everyone going through the same thing.

It´s hard, it hurts, makes us crazy and depressed, it seems endless and unfair, and so many times I lost hope. Everyone says that when it comes it´s all worth it, and it is, but you can´t simply forget the sleepless nights, the jealousy that others got it faster, etc.

I wish this process had been a fair one, older petitions approved first, and my thoughts are with all of you that have been caught up in this mess and are now waiting longer than you are supposed to. My thoughts are with the recalled petitions, and those at CSC and NSC that have to put with slow processing.

I hope you´ll all hear something soon, ´cus it´s unbelievable when you actually read those little words on the screen (this case has been approved).

To all of you .... :thumbs:

I am so happy for you! Congratulations and my best wishes to you both. Besides the awesome feeling of knowing that we have been approved, it's also great to finally know that we didn't screw up something simple like leaving out a checkbox or not signing in the right place or that the photos submitted were not evidence enough! Now let's all give a big collective sigh of relief for Luis & Laura...WHEW!!!!! :dance:

From Now Till Forever!
