Welcome Toni876, I'm pretty new here myself. This forum is a wealth of information and knowledgable persons. I've asked so many questions and gotten lots of great answers. Everyone on here is patient and understanding. I realized quickly that when users said its like a family it really was. Welcome to the family!
Shortyp2000 is the administrator of a spreadsheet that logs our processing (as long as we update her) she can add your info too. Just post things like when your application was submitted and when you've received your acknowledgment of receipt and she will include you.
Hope you enjoy it here!
Ps I'm still figuring out the forum and proper posting etiquette, I might not be the best to help you with that
