I said good, I met her right away, she had my file in hand, Gave me a pass for the 6th floor went up to room 6024, she carried my paper work hand delivered it to this guy in charge with the power to approve it right now. He called me in, made a comment this is your 3rd marriage and her first, I said yes sir, He said "WOW Big age difference hows that going" I said fine we get along great her family likes me her friend all like me, " I see you have a 1-129 you need to write a letter and withdraw that now" I wrote a letter sighned it and asked him if he could approve it now. 'I could approve it now, that is why I am looking on the computer looks like your case was never logged into our system" He said it will take 2-4 days to log it and I should receive a letter.
