So after 7 months, I have finally gotten an approval. PD date Sept 6,2016. transferred from Nebraska to Texas on Feb 7,2017. Approval date May 4, 2017. Received it in the mail yesterday. No update online, no email/alerts.. absolutely nothing. But I am happy that part of the petition is over!! Now on to NVC.

ooops I meant 8 months.. I can't give those people credit for an extra month. They need to get it together down there.. Fingers crossed for those still waiting. You can't hear nothing forever!
