Yes, it's true. I just returned from the mailbox with my I-130 approval in hand. :dancing::dance:

My online status still says "received and pending", even though it was touched on Dec. 28 (approval date) and again on the 29th. No email either. But I'm not complaining, even though it was a long 4 day weekend wait. Total processing time was 77 days.

Oh, I also received a Christmas Card from Fely today. Two good pieces of mail in the same day, I think it must be a good omen. ;)

Yippee! On to NVC now...

Thanks riblet, bradyvicky, CutienPurg, BelwinMills, arwensun1965, misa. I just sent an email to my sister-in-law to ask her to get hers and her husband's financial info together (they are co-sponsoring). Guess I'd better get my own together also.

BelwinMills it's funny, you say now the process starts for me, then why does it feel like I've been working on the process for 2 years now? Oh, I know, I have been. Well I know what you mean though. Yes, things are moving now.

Gary, just wanted to mention that I spent that last 15 mintues looking at all your pics! Some amazing shots in there...I am always fascinated and intrigued when viewing other cultures. Really great of you to document some of those things, and just some of the casual pictures... Memories forever!

I've gotta say, I love digital cameras. I must have around 2000 pictures from my 3 trips, and the memories from them are wonderful. Hey, thanks for looking at my pictures.
