Aww thanks a bunch you guys and gals.

I took the biggest deep breath and it felt pretty good to be able to breath again. I will tell you that I would never in a million years wish this on anyone. There are no words to describe what stress it causes let alone the emotional roller coaster ride. I told becca the other night that I always considered myself a strong person but this one almost brought me to my knees. I don't think I will ever forget what this was like for a very very long time.

I swear I am never going to look at that stinking waiver list again. I don't mind sharing what little bit I know but I will NOT ever look at that list again. :D

Ok enough of the sappy stuff. I want to party :lol: and on a week night even. :dance: I swear there is nothing worse than an old person with a hangover in the middle of the week. :lol: Ok maybe just one drink and a big yooooooooo hoooooooooo out the back door.

Oh Paul. He's not my hubby yet but we are working on that one. :yes:

:thumbs::thumbs:

Thanks again everyone.

Vicky

YAY!!!!!!

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. ####### coated bastards with ####### filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive bobble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine.

:dance::dance::dance: Vicky I cannot tell you how pleased I am so see this, so many many congratulations to you both, you deserve it (F)(F)

So now I will be in there all on my own as we have had to file a waiver for Alan :crying: I got mine but I am not going to be going anywhere without him, he is the other half of me :thumbs:

The one good thing we have going i think is the fact that the CO said they were going to recommend that the waiver be approved in light of the length of time since the offences and the age of Alan at that time. My one fear however is that we will be waiting as long as you have and i really think that it will also bring me to my knees. It is Alan that I feel so sorry for, he is gutted for me because as he said, if he had not been so damned stupid when he was young we would have been through with no problem. But in hindsight there but for the grace of god, could go so many of us. :thumbs:

Please pop in from time to time and keep me company, even though I know you will have so much laundry to do :lol: Somebody has to keep this thread open :lol:

Congrats again Vicky, just absolutely thrilled for you

Aww Val

I was thinking about you yesterday. I knew you were having your interview. I was so hoping that you wouldn't need to file a waiver. At least you were a little prepared for it. Not that it helps when you hear them say those words. Glad to hear the person who interviewed you was so nice about it. They were nice to Chris also. You tell your hubby not to feel bad. We would all go back and change things we did when we were young, If we only could. Just part of growing up I think. I kind of look at it like this. Nobody is perfect it's just that some get caught and some don't. :D I don't know if London will speed up now. I thought it was because they added other countries that they do now but I'm not convienced that is what caused it. I actually think it's because of the volume of waivers being filed for now. You know it's been about 1 1/2 years since i started looking into this and there seems to be way more people filing for waivers now. People just didn't know how to do it and now there is more information out there. Also they might speed up. I've noticed some things with immigration speeds up durring the winter so maybe it will go faster than you think.

Don't you worry. I will be around for a while yet. I have social security cards to get and EAD, AP and AOS. Taxes to file. But hey I don't care. At least I know he's coming. :thumbs: I'll be on here checking on you and if you ever need me you just send me a pm and I'll coming running . ;) And don't you dare do what we all did. Don't obsess with that stupid waiver list. I know that's easier said than done. It's like a huge magnet. The more you try to stay away from it the more it pulls you back.

Big ((((((((((((( HUGS )))))))))))))))))))
