Congrats to the new approvals! I hope there will be more approvals this week... my friends deserve their approvals too! Will keep praying and keep crossing my fingers (and toes!)

Yes, congrats and good luck for NVC! I just talked to a friend and she said she got a NVC RFE because she didn't write her name or NVC number on the photos! She had to resend those... So keep that in mind...
