I have to tell you.. My girl at the St. Louis office is an Angel sent by God.. She completed our approval in one day. (according to the paperwork.. Date application filed 2/14/06
Date oc completion of Advance Processing 2/15/06

Maybe we are meant to do this.... Only God knows for sure... Keep on praying... Thanks for your support and prayers.. We couldn't do it without you.....

Hey, good news is good news. Thankfully this was a smooth part of the whole thing. I agree, the St. Louis CIS people are great. A woman there, maybe the same one, helped me a lot when the Embassy claimed it didn't have any record of my new prints.

HUGS and prayers still coming for you and for your family,

Good news is better than no news and definitely better than bad news. How's that for stating the obvious??

But I am glad it was something positive and hope it continues that way for your family!
