Hopefully our meteoroic progess continues now with our entry into the National Visa Center! It is on this day we have been finally assigned a case number. Case number MNL2009XXXXXX (you get the picture). I’m so happy the USCIS and NVC staff are working so hard to push these visas through so we can be with our loved ones. So far, I feel that the quick pace is the exception rather than the rule. Tales of woe and despair abound the immigration world! Excelsior!
