A Happy Ending
After 677 days of waiting, we have been approved - just 9 days after celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary. We kept the worst-case scenario in the back of our minds for years, but we can finally breathe a little and plan our life. Good luck to everyone still waiting & stay hopeful. It is easy to be discouraged seeing others have very different timelines from your own, but everything works out the way it is meant to.
