We learned today that my husband's visa is ready to be picked from DHL in Montego Bay. The agony is finally over. We were under adminstrative processing from his day of approval, Sept. 16, 2010 - Dec. 7, 2010. I just called the DoS and they told me his visa is waiting for pick up. It would have been nice to have know yesterday because it was my husband's birthday. Yes! He will be home for christmas!!!!!!!! I want to thank everyone for thier advice and words of encouragment.

Congrats
