* You check your voice mail more than 5 times per hour to see if "The Call" came.
* You dread the weekend because you won't hear anything.
* You look forward to the weekend because you need a break from holding your breath every time the phone rings.
* You want to scream when friends and family ask if you've heard anything.
* You want to cry when friends and family don't ask if you you've heard anything.
* You know the meaning of the word apostille and you're not afraid to use it.
* You are one of the few Americans who know that the INS is now the USCIS, with a brief stop at being the BCIS in between. Confused? You should be!
