Well after what seemed like an eternity (but really only 147 very long days) we received our NOA2 APPROVAL last night YEA!!!! Now we are moving to the faster part of our journey and being able to once again start about wedding plans feels so good.

Thank all of my fellow VJ members for your help and support these past months and for those of you VJ members that are waiting still be patient (even though it is hard when it lasts almost the full 5 months) because your notice will be coming.
