Well CONGRATULATIONS are certainly in order but there is one strange thing here. How is it possible that you sent your application on March 22 - after IMBRA took effect - and did not get an RFE? Of course at this point it doesn't matter, but it's hard to understand. Maybe you forgot to add that in your timeline?

Waiver approved after 10 months. Did NOT use a lawyer

We were processed thru the Vermont Center and never got an RFE. But the package I sent was loaded with original photos, original certifed copies. It was processed in 2 weeks. I wanted David here as quickly as possible.

WOW - I'm sure you know you were incredibly lucky since so many from Vermont in your situation were recalled and somehow you slipped through without having to comply with stupid IMBRA. Hope everything continues to go as smoothly and quickly for you both.
