Congratualtions! Have a great trip!

Forgive me for updating so late but I've been a bit overwhelmed.

On Monday I woke up and checked the tracker and it said, "Decided" on July 1st. Later that same day (July 3rd) I got both the decision email + tracking information email from Sheffield. I haven't slept in I don't know how many days and I literally sat at the front door and ran down the drive when I saw the UPS truck come down the block.

It's a YES, thank God!

I can't explain how nervous and scared I've been - but FINALLY after 6 months away from my child and husband, it's a yes! Bittersweet because my parents are so sad I'm leaving "already"!

I want to thank each and every one of you that I spoke to here, you are all in my prayers. You are amazing, wonderful people who helped keep me sane, gave great advice, and helped me with numbers. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

That's fantastic news!  Congratulations AmericanMom, I know that you had upgraded the same day I did.  So happy they processed you and you are on your way.  Best wishes!

And Missiz today too! Several billion business days or thereabouts

And Missiz today too! Several billion business days or thereabouts

Well that's encouraging. At least there's a firm ceiling in.

That's fantastic news!  Congratulations AmericanMom, I know that you had upgraded the same day I did.  So happy they processed you and you are on your way.  Best wishes!

thank you, I read your post about the MP and lost all hope but I think they did honor my upgrade as non-priority May applicants haven't heard back. I could be wrong. It really sucks we have to pay so much just to get answers. I'm glad i did it but I'm a little resentful at the lack of communication.

Got my package tonight and I've been approved! I can't believe it!! Thank you so so so much to everyone on here; you've been incredible!!
