Hi everyone...

I love reading all good news on this site. Happy for everyone approved so far. I tried to create a signature... says it's too long. Tried to put it in Our Story section... too long.

Well... but I simply HAVE TO tell you all how happy Aaron and I are today!!! Please read on... :) :) :)

The most amazing 12 months so far:

12 Apr - 26 Apr (Easter holiday)... my second visit to SF: "Will you?"... "Yes" :)

16 June - 28 June - Aaron's first visit to Sydney

27 July - I129F filed with CSC

ASKED A LAWYER TO WORK WITH US - BIG MISTAKE... Had no knowledge of this site back then!!!

29 Sep - the dreaded RFE... just because we filed "only essential" docs, and falsely told (by the lawyer!) the rest would be needed at my interview

Next six weeks... we collect all she told us, email her... she was supposed to send it on. Ask her...call her... she was in court, she was busy, she was on holiday... then she stopped returning our calls all together

14 Nov - Aaron has Info Pass appt at SF Office, then mails copy of all we sent the lawyer to CSC, including letter telling them we want her taken off our case

22 Nov - I call Customer Service and ask if they got it (we had delivery confirm)... told to call in a week

23 Nov - TOUCHED :)

27 Nov - TOUCHED... without doing anything :)

28 Nov - I call again... asking if anything was happening with our case... I am told we sent it to "general mail PO Box", and was given exact address for RFE (we've never seen blue form)

29 Nov - TOUCHED :)

30 Nov - TOUCHED again... without doing anything :)

06 Dec - case updated: RFE reply received and processing has resumed

08 Dec '06 - case updated: Current Status: Approval notice sent

Now... how's that for a really great 12 months of our lives???

But, we've been praying and hoping... thank you, God!

Thank you Callina!

I see your process is completed (well... this difficult, lonely and waiting part). You got visa! I guess now it's packing and travel! All the best to you.

I was starting to be very upset with the setbacks we had. We were thinking of DCF and then they surprise us with NOA2! Yes!

Thanks rebex!

Just stick with this site, people here are wonderful and helpful. You'll be fine and will always find answers to anything you need! Good luck with the whole process, whenever you decide to file!
