I finally received my confirmation number from the VA yesterday. I overnighted the information around the first week of May. My lender had confirmation via an automatic system they have with the VA, but they needed this as well. So be it. I also got my payment verification letter from Verizon, although it really just shows what my bill was for the last 12 months. Small update, but thats where I am. Hopefully if all goes right, I’ll be closing the Friday.
