Well this is going to make my next visit to her in September that much better. After 404 days (that's not a typo) we are finally approved.

My application was sent by CSC to VSC by mistake once and finally we are moving on.

I still think it's close to a record though.

Holy #######!!!!!

They should speed things up to make up for their screw up. Ummm yeah...

Congratulations, and I really hope things go better from now on!!!!!!!!!

Wow. Congratulations. After reading this string, I went and found your other posts. You've been here, commenting quietly (compared to most) on how slow all goes -- and with appropriately critical comments at times.

You have been restrained! Your impressive, quiet patience inspires me.

I hope your next steps go quickly and that you enjoy yourselves in Spain.
