So I guess I'm approved blush.gif

The CO didn"t ask many questions, he said no need for more evidences, played jokes with my daughter then he said " it's ok , you will receive the passports within a week" he never said the words "you're approved" wacko.gif It took a few minutes after more than 4h at the waiting room.

I'm in a state of "I don't know what to say" I'll be relieved once I have my visa in hand

I'm a little late but CONGRATS to you and your family!

You finally made it! I am so so so happy for you guys :)

Wow that's odd... last few posts from Val indicated she wasn't doing all that well- I certainly hope all is well with them.

As for you, so when do you come to the States and start your new life?? We really have come a looooong way haven't we- what a journey this has been :no:

I'm flying to Madison Friday, I'm so excited!!!

And yes, what a hell of a journey wacko.gif, it makes me laugh when I see newcomers at VJ complaining about the delays, and they had just filled like 2 months ago, only us refugees know what we went through, and some of us are still in limbo.

We will be back again in about 1 year and 1/2 for RC good.gif
