OK Booger, here's what it feels like . . .
So you wanted to know how it feels to say you got approved? Pretty darn good. 
I checked sometime last night and once again went to bed feeling mildly depressed. Zhengyu checked at 5:00 this morning my time and left a phone message while I was in the shower to say that we were approved. I was certain that we would be getting an RFE if they ever even got to our petition in this decade, but I didn't have time to call her to ask what the status page actually said. That is, I didn't get excited at that time, I suppose because I just couldn't realize that it might indeed be true. I had meetings from 7:45 until 12:30 before I could check for myself. Son of a gun . . .
Six months of TSC was a good dry run for what we now face at the Guangzhou consulate . . .

I figured it would get harder every day.. it does after each of my visits to her too. It is 4 weeks since I last saw her, and it feels like 4 years already =( ... but I have a trip out in 3 weeks to see her again.. and that will be the last one I can do until I am approved and there to stay.. I just hope we dont get RFE'd or hit any issues
We talk 5 or 6 times a day on the phone, but it still doesnt help with the missing each other.
Congrats again, and I hope everyone here is reunited with their loved ones forever as soon as they can be

I think your wait will be over a lot sooner, seeing as you are going through Vermont. Let's hope so! The other thing I was going to mention was - and I apologize if you have already discussed this on the forum, or already have plans for this - if you are going over to the US to see your fiancee in 3 weeks, have you planned to take lots of evidence of "strong ties to your home country"? Without wanting to worry you, I know that the POE people sometimes won't let K1 beneficiaries in whilst a petition is pending.....
