Dear Forum:

Today, I called the automatic message line at NVC. "Case complete!" Followed up with call to live operator, Tanya. Asked if this meant that package on its way to Embassy, and she said "Yes." :dance:

Thank you everyone. Good luck to you, and look forward to seeing all of you in Embassy forum.

Best regards,

Chris

Congratulations Chris, let's hope you move through the NVC quickly :thumbs:

Life is like a challenge... Pursue it.

Life is like a sacrifice... Offer it.

Life is love... Enjoy it.
