We got approved!!!! After 157 days :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

Today of all days! I can't stop crying and neither can Colleen. It is such a release to finally get it! :dance:

I got the message from Colleen saying we got approved and to call her, so I did! And I was speechless and crying, and I went to cry with my parents. :dancing: :joy: :crying::goofy: :energetic: :dance::D

I'm so happy! I don't understand it :) It's unbelievable. Finally!!! :dance: It's funny because we were both stressing so much about it and having dreams about it last night, that we discussed earlier today :)

In all the happiness I still feel sad for those that still haven't heard their good news. I wish you all the best, and you're in my thoughts.

Happy New Year to all!!! And I hope everyone will get their much deserved approvals soon!!

Best regards,

Thank you! :) We got a couple of touches a while back, but I don't think we got anything in connection with the approval. Colleen checked this morning and there weren't any touches since November 15th, which were due to a misspelling of my last name (the Danish ø should be oe and not just o).

Congratulations guys!!! Enjoy the wonderful feeling and sail into the new year!

Thank you everyone. It is an overwhelming feeling to say the least, and I still keep looking just to be make sure :)

My wishes for everyone on here is a quick and speedy process. While Peter and I are both so happy right now, we are also keeping all of you close in our thoughts knowing the frustration we felt, I cannot begin to imagine the frustration that filiers prior to us are feeling. If our happiness and hopes could make approvals happen, each of you would have yours as well right now.

We are all on the sidelines cheering for each other right now, we know the system itself is broke, and hopefully we can all find ways to send information to the USCIS to improve it, and they will listen to it.

Happy New Year to each of you!!!!!!

Best regards and thank you again!!!
