Indonesia Team 3ibmcsc - Recieved Visa today

Received my visa today. Thought I might have a problem since I sent in a faxed copy of my IBM letterhead letter from my manager, not an actual letter with IBM letterhead (does that make sense). Anyway, the visa application went through OK. It took 8 business days total to mail it, priority and have a prepaid priority return envelop with the application. #ibmcsc
