Somebody ' up there ' LOVES you! (L) Congratulations !!! (F) (F)

That somebody also loves Vermont filers.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

I know, I know. Being a Vermont filer I feel a little guilty exulting in my quick approval. Even just those two weeks of waiting were excruciating, so I can't imagine what it must be like for all you folks at other service centers :wacko: Hang in there. I'll be sending you good vibes.

:ot:

I am so happy to see everyone approved, but for the record, Paula&Minya, I filed a day before the OP, and I have not even got a touch, let alone an approval. But after all, it's CSC. I will bide my time. I have no choice.

Carry on.....

Carry on.....

I'm a CSC filer as well, and I filed on 2/16/07 and my NOA1 was dated 2/27/07, (so my timeline for approval should be similar to the OP, who also had a NOA1 date of 2/27/07)...only difference is he/she filed at Vermont, and I filed at Texas/California....and like you I've had no touches since they cleared my check on 3/1/07 That is why I was :crying: because the thought that I have to wait through approx. two more months is just driving me bonkers and I will go postal at seeing how quick VSC is compared to the rest of us who are going through CSC.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:

We are approved together within minutes :)

Yes, like you I cannot wipe the smile off my face! I don't know how long this permagrin will last, but it is the best feeling in the world!

Good Luck with the next step- for me- it will be challenging. He has an enormous amount of work to do for the Ankara Embassy, and unfortunately, the downside of this early approval, is that I can not be with him for the interview. My understanding is that the NOA2 expires in three months (June 15), and I do not arrive in Turkey until the 20th.

Will you be able to be present for the interview?

Yes, my fiance also has a lot of work to do for the embassy in Bogota. They require some very strange things. But I'm estimating his interview will be in May, all going well. Since I'm a student and that's about when my semester ends, I am planning to fly there for his interview, and to help him get everything in order. Sorry you can't be there for yours :( But I'm sure that, with this website to help you, things will go smoothly regardless.
