Well this is going to make my next visit to her in September that much better. After 404 days (that's not a typo) we are finally approved.

My application was sent by CSC to VSC by mistake once and finally we are moving on.

I still think it's close to a record though.

Oh my! You poor dears!!! That is a royal screw up on USCIS's part! Delighted to hear they finally got their act together and approved you!!!! May the next portion of your journey go a heck of a lot faster!! Enjoy that trip in September! If anyone deserves to enjoy a trip overseas right now...YOU DO!!!!

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...
