Thank you Chris..

No worries, you are welcome

I'm having a hard time distracting myself from checking my emails/texts. This process is going to be the biggest test of my patience. I'm just glad I have a bunch of people in the same boat as we are!

You can rest assured that you won't get the texts/emails at least for a few more days and honestly, the bureaucracy of the USCIS tests us all-- but the process is usually seamless.

So I hear :) Thanks for the reassurance. I do need to chill out. But this is very typical-once I resolve some issue, I usually have something else to focus my stress on! LOL

We're looking for a house, so I am trying to channel my energy there now that I am not working on the paperwork...and at the gym too of course. lol!
