Interview this morning. APPROVED! I will post details later but just wanted to share the good news.

I know a lot of people are still waiting patiently for NOA2s or even waiting for your interview to be scheduled after your NOA2. I also understand that a lot of members here get frustrated when they see those of us who have been fortunate to get through the process quickly. PLEASE don't be disappointed to hear that we are now complete. I'm sharing the news with people who understand the process, whether it be long or short, challenging or easy, we're all trying to reunite with our families. And each of our journeys is as important to us as the next person. I was fortunate to get through it quickly. I would like to stay involved here and offer whatever help I can to those who are still waiting or new members coming to the boards.

Thank you everyone for your ongoing support! I would NOT have been nearly as prepared for this process without the guidance and knowledge of VisaJourney members!

Dear Mrs Hogan,

Firstly - congratulations!

Secondly - I must admit to feeling selfishly jealous as you sped through this process - though mine journey has been smooth - I cant complain

Thirdly - thank you so much for your kind and respectful post, you are clearly a person of dignity and honour

Fourthly - Your willingness to give back to this community underlines my third point

And finaly - again - thank you
