OH MY GOD!!! This morning just took 10 years off my life I SWEAR!!!! After runnin around at 5 AM like a sprayed roach, going to the bank in the pourn rain and pitch dark depositing nomey into the account and doing all kinds of crazy financial scrambling... but it worked!!!!..... THE VISA WAS IN THE PASSPORT WHEN HE PICKED IT UP!!!! Along with the mystery brown envelope!!!

I am so happy yet completly exhausted and spent now! I cannot believe that this CO (by the way who was new to the consulate as of THIS week) made us do all this... Everything was already THERE, just listed in joint accounts... she wanted it in an account JUST in my name and would not accept ANYTHING we held jointly, in Italy or ANY income my husband would make regardless of if it will be continuing or not!!!

I scanned and e-mailed all the new bank info, and did a cover letter and faxed it as well....

I am just soooo happy... I cannot believe that after 6.5 years we are FINALLY going to live like a regular married couple...

Thanks for the words of encouragement this morning!!! That along with the calmness of my hubby got me through (I cant say without tears as there was a bunch of sobbing involved, it was like a Sicilian funeral this mornin around my place)...lol...

Now I've got to lay down as I my head is spinnin and I am sooo exhausted from the emotions.... Thanks again everyone!!! I will be back on later this afternoon!!!

But YAY!!! Approval!!! :dance::dance::dance:

congratulations that's awesome!!!!! and sprayed roach?! LOL!!! :lol::lol::lol:
