OMG!!! I Just turned over to try and catch a few more winks before my alarm went off for work. Then I was awaken by the sound of a text message, then another, and another and more. I thought about another member saying he got a lot of texts when he was approved so I jumped up and grabbed my phone over on the nightstand. I said a prayer before I checked...APPROVED!!!! 

 

It was approved yesterday after 255 days. Boy has this been one helluva wait. Feels like ten thousand pounds have been lifted off my back. The hardest part is over. Hang in there guys it will happen. Sending positive approval vibes to all. :D:jest:

Congratulations!!!

Wonder why Dec cases are getting approved and end of Nov cases are being overlooked in Nebraska. Very frustrating

At this point I'm very surprised about that myself, there could be good reason, but they're not transparent at all.

Mine is at the end of December which skipped a bunch of people.

 

Its possible your case is already being looked at but something is delaying it, sometimes its the FBI background checks.

My husband and I are both good people and clear back grounds, so I'm not worried abt background. It's funny because I currently work under Homeland Security and still am delayed

It doesn't mean you have a shady background, sometimes for whatever reason that happens to people, I've seen posts about it in the past.

They'd probably have less people contacting them if they gave better information on their site.
