Stage 2 approval for spousal sponsorship received!!!

Hello fellow march applicants,

I have been following this forum for sometime and just want to say thank you to everyone on here for helping me thru this ordeal, whatever my concern during this process I have always been able to find the answer on this forum. Until now I haven't posted for the most part because I have been able to find the answers in previous threads and our timeline has been fairly typical and in keeping with other fellow march applicants until today!

Good luck to all!!! Hopefully stage 2 approval will come soon for everyone!!!

Here is our timeline for reference:
Visa Office: Ankara
Application Filed: sent March 16th / received March 19th
AOR Received: June 22nd
File Transfer/Sponsor Approval: June 27th
Passport Requested: July 11th
Visa Received: July 18th!!!

From other posts I had read Ankara processes 20% of cases in 1 month., and ours was straightforward, but I still can't believe it! Thanks again and good luck to everyone on this forum!
wow your file is truly EXPRESS.

congratulations.
Best of Luck to everyone in the process.

I wrote my first game (a 3-D maze program) for the vic-20 (in assembly as I recall). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_VIC-20

They had 5KB of RAM, of which about 3.5KB was available for programming and used the 6502 (which is the same CPU the Apple II used - the CPU actually belonged to Commodore).

Ah, those were the days. The printers that used stone tablets did generate a lot of excess dust though.
