Out of TSC.I have to wait for the mail and see what they need. :crying:

Hang in there... once you submit whatever it is they want it shouldn't be much more of a wait :)

As a side-note, this is precisely the reason I wasn't all for turning this thread into a new NVC thread. This whole process had been traumatic enough, no need to subject people still waiting or with RFEs through conversations about the next level... Just my opinion :)
