My vacation went GREAT! I saw my Honey for 5 days and it was amazing. It was much needed and it definitely took my mind of the process for a bit. Yesterday was hard though! Leaving him each time gets harder especially when you are left in the air with no decision! We cried and departed and my heart felt heavy all through yesterday. I traveled from 8am until 3am to get home and when I checked the mail to see if my NOA2 was there of course it wasn't! I prayed for a long time last night for hope strength and maybe an answer!

This morning my usual routine is to get to work sign in to my PC and open up all my work screens. For the past 8 months USCIS.gov was one of them. Everyday I entered my receipt number and it told me my case could not be found! :( Today I looked and all of sudden it was there!! On May 22 we mailed you and NOA2 that your app was APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!! OMG OMG OMG OMG. My whole department clapped and some even cried! Thank you Jesus! I love you! I woke him up and we both cried because GOD is good and answered our prayer!!!

Thank you VJ fam for all the love! Now on to the CITA!!!!!

GOD is good, all of the time. My spouse is teaching me to thank God for these setbacks as if they are a gift. She is much younger than me but very wise indeed. I called NVC again today no interview
