Congrats Marco!

I got a similar e-mail today:

Dear *******,

We are pleased to tell you that we are ready to finalize your application.

Please advise if you still use the passport with the number *******.
If not, kindly submit a copy of your new passport (page showing biodata).

Kind regards,

Congrats Marco, Mido and Blur!

We haven't heard anything since we submitted the Venezuelan Police Clearance for my husband. However we figured this would delay things a bit.

I guess I am a bit anxious for some good news since we have been recently getting a couple of blows (some money we were expecting from Venezuela won't be coming in + the municipality of Utrecht is charging us for 2 years worth of fees that they forgot to roll out while we lived there, around 500 euros), added to the fact we can't legally work in Barcelona (where we're living right now) meaning that we feel that money is going out the window and we can't begin to plan how to not dry up our savings (and knowing everything is cool to go to Canada would mean at least beginning to plan). Sigh.

Congrats blur!

@blur and @ Marco:

Did ecas show "decision made" before you got the email? Or was it still "in process"?

Thanks Waikiki, when updating the spreadsheet my thoughts immediately turned to you. I hope Berlin has a lot less cases on it's desk and can focus on giving you guys the answer you want (and deserve).

A big hug from here and keep us posted on everything, even if it is to vent.
