Congratulations on your NOA1 :thumbs: With that, you can now be a part of Compulsive Checkers Club :whistle: And yes, it's the beginning of the tough and long wait for the NOA2 (though it takes only 3 months-more or less to get-it seems longer). Now be patient, you hear? You've seen how those impatient ones got snapped at by other VJers :lol: In fact, I was one of those impatient people :blush: and I had the taste of crankiness and grumpiness of others :whistle: . I knew better now though... :dance:

Good luck on your journey! :thumbs:

Thanks to everyone for your kind words... I have been using the last couple of days to study for my upcoming NC State Real Estate Exam (Wednesday) joy... so I have not been logged in much.... it has almost been as stressful as completing the I-129F and worrying about completeness... :)

At least with the RE exam I do not need a perfect score... I felt like the I-129F was a take home exam that needed 100% and there was no extra credit.... and you get your grades 3-6 months later.... no wonder I feel stressed.... :)

Well... I guess I can go back to my daily checking again... "Here a touch, there a touch, every where a touch touch..." ok... so I am not too funny after studying Real Estate for 12 hours - ..... :P

Thanks again-
