one more milestone down.
i broke down this morning and called pascale my case officer to ask about the “change of status” email i got earlier in the week. she said that we should ignore the email and that she would contact us with status updates. pascale then said that she had good news – that she had approved our application, the last step was a final review by another case officer, and that she hoped to finish everything up within a week.
one more week of waiting…
