I am so relieved and exicted about the approval. I pray that the rest of the journey will go just as smoothly. I do think that the petition took a little longer to be approved based on other timelines that I read. I am just grateful and very appreciative for the approval of the petition. I called everyone that I knew and woke them out of their sleep, including my husband. By the way he wasn't sleep, I think he was up all night worring about the petition and other stresses of daily living.

I thank all for your support and great helpful answers.
