:dance::dance::dance: OMG! I am now exhausted from jumping and running around the house for 2 hours calling all I know!!

It began when when I found a lone envelope in my PO Box... and suddenly I see "Dept. of Homeland Security" on the return address... and immediately my heart sank... I just said.. "OH fudge* (the word "fudge" may have been different :whistle: ) I was thinking... is this a RFE??? what did I forget??? I trriple checked everything!!! I sent more evidence than even the guides say to send... I even start over entire forms if I thought 1 letter could be interpreted as something else!!! then I see the words... "Approval notice" ok... well this is nice... but let's see if the fine print matches what I think that it means...

Then I read "The above petition has been approved...." Then just in case by some random chance I got someone else's mail... I made sure the petitioner and beneficiary's names matched mine and my wonderful soon-to-be wife.... and YES THEY DO!!!!!!!!!! :dance::dance:

It was fortunate nobody else was at the post office as I jumped and yelled out in celebration!!!! I never would have dreamed getting it in 43 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!! :dance::dance::dance:

Happy St. Patrick's Day VJers!!!!!!!! Time to enjoy a beer!!!! :pop:

Thanks you... I know.. I used to spend each day trying to learn more about the paperwork until I finally waited on the banking papers, and IRS transcripts since I figured it would be 2 months off... now I am going to be scrambling again!! I won't complain.... it beats doing nothing and waiting anyday!!! :)

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!! My fiance has his interview tomorrow morning and my tummy is going crazy!

I had to log on here and read some positive stories just to calm my nerves. This website has been fantastic, better than the immigration attorney which did so much of nothing. LOL
