Here's the deal with e-mail responses from Kingston... I don;t think they actually mean anything. It seesm u get one of three standard for replies... one of which is that your application is "in process". I recall both One and Only and Melissa 123 indicating that they recived the same reply that their applications were in process (O & O got this reply as far back as February). As far as I can tell neither of them has had any progress on their files since receiving that reply... correct me if I'm wrong. So while I'd love to belive that they have begun to process 2013 applicants... I dont think this is the case. I don't think 2012 applicants have been skipped over either.
For whatever reason it seems there is a lull in activity lately, lets hope that ends soon so we can get our spouses home.
