Only 2 approvals this week? I hate this.

Actually there have been 5 so far this week and 33 for the month. We always want more but it compares favorably to what we were seeing a few months ago. In September for instance there were 9 approvals for the entire month. Now that was something to hate.

This week is slower than the past few weeks but hopefully things will pick up again soon.

Virg,

They will change it in their computer system, but they told me today that the NVC sometimes does not look at the computer updates, only what is in the file, and you will need to contact the NVC once you are approved to make sure that they add it to the file.

Also

CONGRATS BILL!!!!!!! :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs::thumbs: But dont leave us behind!! I love your lists!!
