All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

This case has been approved. On October 3, 2006, an approval notice was mailed.

I wanted to say I'm sorry for driving everyone crazy these past few weeks. I've been driven on fear and stress of possible hold ups in my case. I'm glad my worst fears have not come true. I've made it through the VSC level, now onto NVC.

Thank you so much for your support and your occasional slap in the face!!!

This is exactly the news my fiancee needed to hear in order to pull her out from her depression. I'm going to go and call her now!! I'm really so happy!!

Thanks again!! and I hope everyone before and after me will be approved!! good luck!! and God Speed!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks everyone for the congratulations and best wishes. I hope everyone can share in the peace of mind I finally have at the moment (NVC next). I'm sure everyone will see an approval shortly.

I don't know if the approval was a result of the stubborn persistence and inquiring that was done on my part or just coincidence. I don't know if it was the inquiries made by my state senators or the expedite request that was requested as directed from a USCIS phone person. All I know is I got the answer I was looking for.

It could have and probably was coincidence. Either way, I don't regret bugging the hell out the VSC. Everyone keep the hope alive, push buttons when you need to, and don't except "nothing" as an answer. At least then you will fall asleep at night knowing you've done everything you can.

God Bless everyone on this site!!! and good luck to all!!!!

Thank you again!
