So I always post dramatic messages because believe me our case was longgg. From Florida to Texas, texas to that darn Chicago lock box, from there to Vermont after like a year! and then finally NVC made our lives miserable with a police clearance that my hubby got and they didnt accept, then the 2X2 pictures were a problem so we had to re send them about times. I am here to proudly anounce that my hubby finally has his visa in hand. They were even surprised that this was a case from August 2007. I just want to let all of you out there know that if I could do it, and wait patiently (yeah there were times I thought I was going to go crazy) you guys can do it to. I am like the most emotional person out there lol. Thanks you guys for listening to my frustration throughout these long months. It has been a journey. You guys have been of sooooooooo much help. If you need anything I am here for you. :) Hugs

I am way too excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbs:

A very HUGE well deserved Congratulations to you both !

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.
