Thanks Mew.

I hope Gary gets one next, also that Icey gets her long awaited RFE. Then again, there are to many victims to list.

Best of luck to everyone....Approvals do happen, just when you least expect it!!!!

Oh, wow, William, it's great news! So... who's next? Maybe GaryC, huh?

Oh my GOD! William!! All that patience has finally paid off! It couldn't have happened to someone more deserving!!! I'm so thoroughly delighted for you...I know you've been waiting for what feels like FOREVER...

Congratulations and all my prayers for a trouble-free, delay-free, head-ache free road ahead. Keep us well posted on your next steps. We'll be waiting with bated breath!!

It's a good day for me just knowing you made it through!

January 2004: Met Laurent at the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris

February 2004: We became an actual couple

January 29th, 2006: I left France to return to the United States--AWFUL to say goodbye!

June 2006: Finally convinced Laurent that a K-1 visa would be more time-effective than trying to get an H-1

August 1st, 2006: The K-1 petition is finally in the mail and on its way to Nebraska...WooHoooo!! And yes, I remembered to attach the check! :-)

August 3rd, 2006: USPS online tracking shows that my petition (sent certified) was received at the NSC at 5:05am

August 14th, 2006: NOA1 received USPS!! (I-129F recv'd at CSC: 8/4; NOA date: 8/10; last touched: 8/11)

October 2nd, 2006: I MISTAKENLY thought we had an approval...False alarm...Back to waiting...

October 3rd, 2006: TOUCHED!!

October 4th, 2006: REALLY AND TRULY APPROVED!!! Email notification lists 10/3 as the NOA2 date.

Later that same day: TOUCHED...AGAIN! Hope that means I'm in a cozy box and moving to NVC this week...

October 10th, 2006: Received official NOA2 via snail mail.

October 19th, 2006: Case received at NVC!! AWESOME!!

October 20th, 2006: Case forwarded to Paris!! DHL says two shipments were headed that way. Must be in there somewhere...

October 27th, 2006: Received official receipt letter from NVC via USPS.
