Still waiting after 137 days. The only thing that is keeping me sane is that I am going back to El Salvador on the 16th of August to be in the arms of muy love. Checking my own timeline it says that I may be approved by 7/31/06????? Best Wishes to all those that are more patient than me.......

I feel with you. My NOA Date is March 14th.

My senators office (John Thune) has helped us so much with the whole process, but even they cannot speed things up.

Stay strong! It will come soon. It just has to.
