Thank you, again, to EVERYONE for your incredible kindness, understanding, and support yesterday. You made a very difficult day a LOT easier to swallow...Michelle...turns out you were right...They did have to give me my real approval quickly because I'd already had all the congratulations!!!

Excellent Kristen!

OK now can you all start congratulating me - maybe that will move them along! I feel totally gutted this morning. I had three touches in a row and was sure I would be approved today - but nothing. Come on CSC give me a freaking break. : :crying:

Oh my gosh!! Just got home and saw all the congratulations you've all extended...most of you for the second time!! I swear I am the luckiest person on earth!! You guys are truly amazing friends to have...Thank you so much!!!

:):):):star::star::star::):):)

Sent off an email to Laurent's mobile phone this morning to tell him about the REAL approval...but no reply. I'm wondering if somehow he didn't get it. I've sent another message this evening, but it's the middle of the night there. Hopefully, I'll hear from him tomorrow. Jeepers!! I just want to TELL him!! :D:D:D

Anyway, once again, I'm so grateful to all of you for your support and encouragement. You're all WONDERFUL!!! And to those of you who said that the events of the last couple of days will be a story to laugh over and remember in years to come...I agree...100%.

:yes::yes::yes:

January 2004: Met Laurent at the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris

February 2004: We became an actual couple

January 29th, 2006: I left France to return to the United States--AWFUL to say goodbye!

June 2006: Finally convinced Laurent that a K-1 visa would be more time-effective than trying to get an H-1

August 1st, 2006: The K-1 petition is finally in the mail and on its way to Nebraska...WooHoooo!! And yes, I remembered to attach the check! :-)

August 3rd, 2006: USPS online tracking shows that my petition (sent certified) was received at the NSC at 5:05am

August 14th, 2006: NOA1 received USPS!! (I-129F recv'd at CSC: 8/4; NOA date: 8/10; last touched: 8/11)

October 2nd, 2006: I MISTAKENLY thought we had an approval...False alarm...Back to waiting...

October 3rd, 2006: TOUCHED!!

October 4th, 2006: REALLY AND TRULY APPROVED!!! Email notification lists 10/3 as the NOA2 date.

Later that same day: TOUCHED...AGAIN! Hope that means I'm in a cozy box and moving to NVC this week...

October 10th, 2006: Received official NOA2 via snail mail.

October 19th, 2006: Case received at NVC!! AWESOME!!

October 20th, 2006: Case forwarded to Paris!! DHL says two shipments were headed that way. Must be in there somewhere...

October 27th, 2006: Received official receipt letter from NVC via USPS.
