Yesterday we went to the annual Bethany picnic. While we were there, we mentioned to our social worker that we were still waiting on our visa approval (USCIS approval). She thought this strange and told us to call because it should have been taking this long. When we got home from the picnic, guess what was waiting in the mail for us?!
So now that we're not waiting on our approval letter, it's all on us to get the dossier done. I liked it better when it was the government's fault we weren't done with our dossier! There's just one more big thing we need to do before our dossier is finished (photos of our house, family, life, etc.). Once everything is done we will take all of our documents to Chicago and get them apostilled (verification that the notary who signed the documents is legit).
How to pray for us:
Pray for the quick resolution of a mistake I found yesterday in our paperwork. (I'm really kicking myself for this one...).
Pray that the Lord would hasten the review of our dossier when it gets to South Africa.
Pray for our kid(s) and that they would be safe, healthy, and loved by those around them.
