Just called USCIS using the RFE trick and OH...MY...GOSH! We were approved on August 18th!!! I was shaking so much I nearly dropped the phone! I can't believe it. My status online says pending so I made her repeat it to me twice that YES, we were actually approved. :dance::dance::dance: I am SO happy this is the best day ever! And I can't get a hold of my fiance where the heck is he????

Thank you all so much for your good thoughts and prayers I would NOT have made it through the first part of this visa journey without you guys!

NOW - who is up next? Come on VSC and CSC I want my friends to get some phone dropping GREAT news too!

Lots of love,

Annette
