Default I thought this day would never come....MY AOS WAS APPROVED!!!!

I'm so very, very proud to announce that after 749 days (that's 24.5 months; 2 years) I have received the message that I thought would never come: MY CASE HAS BEEN APPROVED!!!!

After much stress, frustration, and dissapointment I have received that long awaited message that my application has been approved and my card will be sent.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR THEIR SUPPORT!! You guys have been here for me since shortly after my fiancee visa was approved, when I met Karen D at the London Consulate and she told me to come to this place. And then my move to the US and joining the board and meeting all you most wonderful people that have made me laugh when I felt like crying and that were always there for my silly questions and support. So thank you, thank you, thank you for always being there for me!!

Congratulations. So that means you were approved WITHOUT an interview? And the notice was on the CIS website? WTG !!!!!!!!!!

Now let's see if the approval is an LI-R or CP-R.

YES!!! Approved without interview!

I will let you know if it's LI-R or CP-R as soon as I get my proud new card in the mail. Patrick and I are leaving for Europe on Wednesday so we'll see if I get it in time or not.

Thank you everyone! You guys are making me have the biggest smile on my face. *L* My husband keeps asking me every two seconds what's going on because you guys keep making me smile so much.

I know, I'm just so ecstatic! And no worries, I don't think I'll be leaving you now. I'd get too bored at work, haha. I feel all grown up now or something. Finally!! Class of 2003! Or I guess this makes me class of 2005?
