Congratulations again so many approvals this morning.

Everything I respond to is from personal knowledge, research or experience and I am in no means a lawyer or do I claim to be one. Everyone should read, research and be responsible for your own journey.

Oh my LORD!!! What incredible inefficiency!!! I'm so sorry you were the victim of it, but so HAPPY to hear that things are finally happening as they should! CONGRATULATIONS!! The word "retrieved" must never have sounded so good to you--no matter how mysterious it is. I bet the word "forwarded" is also sounding pretty darn good about now!

:dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

Here's hoping there are no more hitches from here on out!!

:thumbs::thumbs:

January 2004: Met Laurent at the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris

February 2004: We became an actual couple

January 29th, 2006: I left France to return to the United States--AWFUL to say goodbye!

June 2006: Finally convinced Laurent that a K-1 visa would be more time-effective than trying to get an H-1

August 1st, 2006: The K-1 petition is finally in the mail and on its way to Nebraska...WooHoooo!! And yes, I remembered to attach the check! :-)

August 3rd, 2006: USPS online tracking shows that my petition (sent certified) was received at the NSC at 5:05am

October 4th, 2006: REALLY AND TRULY APPROVED!!! Email notification lists 10/3 as the NOA2 date.
