Thank you, I wish you and your wife speedy post ITA process and all the best in general!
i know what do you mean when you say that everything that is under our power we need to act on it, and this is exactly what my husband and I did, but sometimes you just need to sit and wait, unfortunately, everything I could I did it. I'm not a type of person who waits for opportunity to come knocking on my door, I create opportunity, but every now and then as you said, there are difficulties and pause period and this I also need to learn how to accept because for me waiting without anything to influence it is horrible, but I guess it's lesson to be learned and mastered!
Enough of my philosophy, I wish you to receive your nomination as soon as possible and also golden ITA in the next draw!
Take care and keep in touch,
Andrea
