Good luck Rasha from the bottom of my heart and thanks again for all your help.

WELCOME to my h*ll lol. It will take a long time - don't worry and stop being patient, coz really it will come when they want it come, not in an organized, timely and logical way lol. I am so cynical today really - sorry for that, but depending on your office, some ppl like RORITA, who is from Lebanon, but through Damascus took over 13 months....it's anyone's guess.

It will happen when they wake up or take their head's.............
