<p>Just a word from our experience: We felt like we were on a rollercoaster ride for about a year. Every time we thought we had jumped the last hurdle another quickly came up. I can’t count the number of phone calls I made to family to say we were all set only to find out there was more work to be done. I don’t know what “principle” status is but I doubt very much you are 100% “in”. Just pat yourself on the back for every step closer you get. I don’t suggest you relax until you get your official letter of appointment. Good Luck!!</p>
