Well, maybe this is the start of a tidalwave of good news for all of those of you, like us, that have been waiting what seemed like an interminable time watching other Apps being approved in droves. We submitted our application on June, it was received on July 3rd, touched on July 6th, and NOT A WORD SINCE. No RFE's no touches, NOTHING. I woke up this morning, and before I had my coffee, opened my emails, and almost passed them right by before it hit me, THERE IS IS! It was from CRIS, and I had no idea who that was...lol. there were several more of them, but by that time, I was already telling my Fiance on MSN. She bawled for about 30 minutes... I'm STILL Grinning at 1 PM..lol.

I sincerely think this site has kept us and a lot of others here SANE while waiting.

On to the next step, and we hope we have LOTS of company with us. So all you July filers, they may be starting to catch up again. :D

Those are great news, and not only for people that filled in July! :dance: It means they are working again! :thumbs:

I hope they apologize to everyone they kept waiting by making things go really fast from now on.

The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority.

As I was told by Customer Service " If your file was transferred at any time you have to wait longer" Therefore if you filed after the RFE fiasco your case wont be transferred and therefore takes less time to process. In the meantime there is a bunch of us waiting still. Congrats on your approval.
