Hello VJ Friends,

Thank you for all your help. We just got approved today, we've been impatiently waiting for 11 months for this day to come and I still couldn't believe that this process is finally over (at least this partdancin5hr.gif ). Me and my fiance we're just so happy right now.

Good luck everyone:)

Why did your process take that long? I read that It usually takes abut 7-8 months. We just applied and got our NOA1... I am afraid it will take too long! Its been one year since last time i saw my fiance!
