Finally our preapproval!

Our agency wrote to the Embassy several times and so did we, they finally answered to our Agency and not us

They wrote today saying that our attorney was notified on 7/21!!! He never received it because he continued to ask us to ask the Embassy.

But I'm relieved at least this is done! I continue to pray for those that are still waiting, especially those waiting longer than us.

Maria - I am soooooooooo happy for you! What a huge relief. How frustrating that you weren't notified. I am wishing you a short PGN stay to make up for your lost time. And I, like you, are hoping that the other long-time waiters get their good news soon!

Thank you everyone for the enormous support and well wishes. I'm so relieved that we are over this hump that I'm not even worried about PGN, maybe I should

Bridget are you back with Camden? I still have your pictures! How did it go?

I'm still thinking of the long time waiters, it's such a horrible feeling to wait for so long and then realize that it had just been waiting. Oh well, I'm going to think positive, it's over and I hope that our attorney can place us in PGN this week.

Thank you again guys
