Hello everyone,

Gotta share: Got back from lunch today, back to my dreary corporate cube, and decided to login to USCIS for the umpteenth time this month...BEHOLD! Touched last night, I knew, but again today...so I click on my case number and nearly fell outa my chair when I read: "This case has been approved. On August 21, 2006, an approval notice was mailed." Hubby just happen to call me, right as I was clicking my way to the website. What timing!!! So great to share with him, at that very moment.

The puddle is shrinking :dance:
