yeah...was so excited when i opened my email Sunday and found an email from USCIS for a status. got the email early evening friday the 13th. didn't open it because i figured it was just them saying they were reviewing it since i checked that day as well. but when i opened the email...it said that it my petitions for the wife and kids were approved!! should be getting my NOA2 by this week. now im just preparing for the NVC phase. starting a new thread about it may be overkill...but im just really excited because after 14 years of being together...and only a total of about 2 years physically being with each other, the time is almost there where i can wake up each morning and she'll be right there...and when i come home from work, her and the kids will be there to greet me when i walk in through the door and make me forget about all the stress of the day.

and they say friday the 13th was unlucky. NOT FOR ME!! :dancing::thumbs:

thanks everyone! and a very big thank you to all of you for being there to help others out. that's why i decided to break the news here first...because with your posts...it makes the waiting just a bit more bearable.

@Tahoma...yup 14 years and 2 sons later...a long time to wait to finally be able to have the resources needed to get them here. but it will be all worth it in the end.

@Cutie_Patootie...it's a really good feeling. woke up this morning smiling. don't usually have a smile when i wake up on mondays...hehehe
