I mailed everything off yesterday to Vermont...and the waiting game begins. Funny thing is, rather than being excited, I was rather down today. Perhaps it is the roller-coaster effect.

Wow! I'm so happy for you Quantumgirl. I'm a CSC July filer, and they are even slower. But at least some people are finally getting their NOA2s. I have faith that it won't be much longer. But the wait is killing me! I haven't seen my girl for a year now! :crying: And not only has the fee for the visa gone up by $150, the fee for the application is going down $100. So the stupid gubment is getting an extra $250 from me for terrible service. Bastages. :angry:
