Thanks guys!

Funny thing is we just ordered notes last Thursday and I sent an email to Ottawa pilot office today for an update. So unbelievable.

I really had no expectation so keep your heads up ad just keep positive about your email coming soon!

Ours doesn't even say in process :( just heard about a month ago (after writing Buffalo) that it was sent to LA. Don't even know if it is still there.

We never had a c,he that our file was transferred to LA until the email came yeaterday, so I think it's great news.

And avacdo it will all work out soon for you guys, I know it! Have you guys talked about ordered gcms notes or emailing Ottawa? I have ottawas email address at work if u want me to post it later.

Stay strong, all my energy used to think positive abt getting my husband here I'll now up onto you guys ;D

you're right. I gotta believe ours is in LA if that's where yours was sent before the Buffalo office closed.. but it's just hard to say because it has never actually said "in process".

I wrote to Ottawa about a week ago and never got a reply. I think we will write LA next week (after it's been there for over a month)
