Stay strong my friend. Me and Paul got a reply from out representatives that our cases cannot be expedited and then the very next day ( actually 3 days after the date in the letter) we got approved. Matter of days for you, you'll see!

It seemed surreal for me, even an hour before i found out :) stay strong, any day now!

Thanks for your support!
