Hey dude, I honestly don't know for sure why my case was demoted from "Post Decision Activity" to "Initial Review."

The only guess I have is that perhaps, in order to facilitate the rectification of whatever errors may have been made in our applications at TSC, our application statuses must first be "reset."

Of course this would raise the question as to why you were adjusted to "Acceptance" and myself and NascarFan to "Initial Review."

Unfortunately, it's unlikely that anyone on this forum knows with absolute certainty what exactly is going on.

As always, we'll have to wait and see. :unsure:

Like I said before...... MUSHROOMS :wacko:

:thumbs:

On the one hand it would be great to stick together, however, on the other hand for people who haven't made it to the NVC it would seem premature in an unfair way that they'd have to read posts about other filers' advancements in the next level, while they're stuck in limbo. This would apply especially to people who may get RFEs.

Hey Saylin, I got Google Voice working from the UK. There's an even easier workaround from here. Just set the language the GoogleMail account uses to ENGLISH US, and activate by sending a text to a USA telephone.

Works a treat - free calls from my PC to any phone in the USA or Canada!

Thanks for putting me onto this!! It will save Val & I a lot of money calling NVC!! good.gif

ive been using gmail too and its saving me so much money...my wife calling from the philippines using gmail...its all free

Good point. Well taken.
