Hi Robert,

We just sent ours on Nov 30th. I live in WA also!

Brian

Mine was received at 8:47am this morning. I should get a case number in the next few days from the back of the cashed check. Our ladies should interview about the same time. I live up in Arlington and work in Everett, WA.

Where do you live?

And good luck with your file and God's speed to us both :dance:

God Speed to you!

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip
