We just got a touch for the first time since NOA1 today! It must be my birthday. Ohh wait, IT IS. :D

Ohh, Brian thought it was just a "Touch", but now, I am checking carefully. I kinda believe it's just an approval!!! I sent him a text message, but it seems it didn't wake him up... In some words, I can't believe my eyes!! I hope he was just careless enough to think it's only a "Touch". When he told me this in my morning, I said to myself: "What?! Only a TOUCH?!" I bet he will wake up in the early morning, read my text message and call me... :innocent: Time is just crawling... ( I guess I am a bit excited!!! :) )

Happy Valentine's Day to You all!! :star:

Kathy

Thanks for the kind words everyone, it was definately approved the 13th! We didn't get an email though. I tried setting it up to send both of us an email. Just did the usual and seperated the email addresses by a comma, so far nothing. ohhh well. It was worth a try.

I'm excited, but I worry the most about the consulate phase. I'll just be really happy when we have the visa in hand.

Thanks again everyone!

Brian

You should probably start it, or someone else will do that for you. haha Then, it will turn into a 10 page thread details the personal life of Mox and his early visa journey identity problem (name change).

I didn't do anything special. I just called every day. Today when I first called around 12pm EST the lady told me that they just received my case but wasn't entered into the system. When I asked when to call back she told me 15 days. Well I called at 6pm EST and they had it entered in the computer and were able to give me my case number. Probably after the 3 day weekend it will be shipped to the Consulate.
