I am. Plus I'm tutoring someone at the moment, so hard to stay up on this thread :P

Underneath each person's post, to the right, is a button called 'multiquote'. Hit this button each time you see a post you want to quote. You can continue onto other pages as well, and it'll remember which posts you wanted to reply to. Once you've got everyone (max of 8 posts, by the way), hit the 'add reply' button at the bottom of each page.

Got it, thanks!!!

Hehe, don't think Peaksy will mind. I've been assumed to be a guy at times on this forum, so headbonk.gif

Yeah, I wasn't fond of DOS operators, but hey, it was another source to call, so I kept at it.

And you're welcome, hehe ^_^

Just received the checklist in the email and as the NVC operator told me yesterday they are looking for a valid divorce certificate. I know this was issued yesterday, but why it takes a whole day is beyond me. I'm guessing the NVC uses a batch process that only runs once or twice a day.

It's now the magic 4:30pm EDT, so I will be calling NVC to see if they had a chance to review the divorce certificate I originally submitted. Wish me luck!
