Thank you insider anyone else analyzing the timelines...it seems that there may likely be a delay of a couple of weeks between the MOC call and the BFE. Insider was able to confirm my DS's offer and said the portal will change Next Tuesday (that's 13 days after MOC call). The BFE should arrive a few days after that. Whew. I was starting to think it was a really bad dream or an awful practical joke. I still can hardy believe that this is "real". This is my oldest child of many- I cried last week bc of the call,and I was so proud of him; I cried this week bc of no BFE and i thought it was a mix-up; and now I'm about to cry again bc it looks like this is really "for real". I wanted him to reach his goal of an appointment but also wanted to be able to keep him with me forever. I wonder if there's a forum for separation-anxiety mothers. Ugh.
I definitely know that feeling "oh no...they mess up...there's no way this is possible." It is definitely the best feeling once you have the BFE in your hands though I still sometimes think there has been some mistake (but no way am I going to point that out). It will come with time and all you need is that final stretch of patience until you have to start thinking about the next things to wait for.
