How do you know if your case has been sent to NVC ?

When you are calling the NVC and in the background you hear "Chariots of Fire".

When you are calling the NVC and you see angel's descending from the heavens to the tune of "Ode to Joy".

Wow, Val and Gary, we make some light hearted jokes here and your petition get shipped to the NVC. I hope that you have your case number in a 2, 3, or 4 days. GREAT!

I'm really crossing my fingers that you get your email tonight. I know Jenny also is from that little batch in late January. Crossing my fingers for you. I was kinda enjoying the whole Kennedy thing, but got distracted - in a good way! good.gif
