Lid - 6/13/08!!!

We got our LID notification yesterday!!!

The notification came quicker than expected. I had expected to wait 6 to 8 weeks to hear.

Our agency told us the wait is currently 30 months long and is expected to peak at the end of this year, then begin to drop in 2009. I hope it does, but as I always say "It is what it is."
