Received My I-797

I went to Yakima, WA to take my E-7 advancement exam and then was stuck in the Washington snow storm last week. I returned home on Friday the 20th to find I had received my I-797.  I got it notarized and sent to the Montana Secretary of State... and got it back in the mail today saying it was the wrong type of Notary certificate.  

This is definitely a test of my patience and a REMINDER to pay closer attention to details.   Well, better now that after I had sent everything to Washington DC to go through the Dept. of State and Chinese Embassy.   HaHaHa

And Grandma has a feeling....

So on Wednesday, Jan. 4th, I got an email at work from my mom saying "I had a feeling about BeLanna today.  Did you get an update??"  My mom is famous in our family for her feelings.  Well... I got home and didn't have an email, so called her and told her "Nothing.  Need to get your antenna repaired!" (She laughed.)

The next day, I got an update email from my agency.
