So I went back to lurking on VJ..but trust me..me and my baby have been totally digging through the forums..I guess its a peace of mind thing..you know? something to keep our mind occupied..we called USCIS and everything..but they couldn't tell us much..

Anyhow..we got our approval today!!

not sure what we're to do with it..lol..well I mean it says it goes to INS for processing then 2-4 weeks to contact brazillian embassy..

but we got it..

submitted our initial stuff May 8!!

so there's hope out there!

Congratulations to you both, mmata and RiggerAF !!!!! Good Luck and God bless you on the rest of your journeys...!

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
