Well, I finally found the time to send an pm to my friend E&K. Our RFE's were recieved the same day. Emma told me that they were approved one day after the RFE was received. She was concerned and told me to call CSC and find out what the word was........

Well after waiting another 15 minutes.....I give 'em my receipt number and they calmly say....."oh......you were approved 2 days ago"!!!!!!!!

Then 5 minutes after I hung up the phone.......I get the CSC email saying I was approved........Efficient to the end.....Thanks CSC.........

Now on to NVC.

Thanks all who have helped. I hope all those still waiting get yours soon. I never realized how long 210 days were until this year................

I'll keep everyone posted.

Mike

The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority.
