Ladies and Gents,

I am beyond words as I tell you that our visas are in my hands as I speak. God, I thought this day was never going to come.

As posted earlier, it happened that we were placed on AP after being given the welcome to america pick-up letter for 2nd of february.

We we asked not to write and that we wld be called, but guess what? that NEVER happened. It was my hubby's routine call to the Dept of State on wed the 9th March, that brought the news that the visas had been issued. He called two more times at different times to be sure but he kept getting the same info. We waited and waited for a mail from the embassy and even wrote them about our concern. Nothing.

Then today i went to the Embassy at 1pm. Inside, a nigerian officer then called me to the window, and asked why i was there and i explained why, and she showed surprise and brought out a list with my name and children's names and some other pple's names indicating that those passports had been delivered to the pick-up center since the 4th of March! Can u beleive that?! and STILL no email or phone call from the embassy.

Needless to say i took the next available car to the pickup centre where our adorable passports and visas and envelopes were waiting lovingly and patiently for me!!

Thank God, this is over.

I honestly couldn't have done it without you lot.

Pls dont ever hesitate to make that call. Your case matters no more to anybody that your very self.

My heart and prayers still with everybody waiting. It is the worst form of waiting ever.

F2A from my husband, for me and our children.
