Case closed!

Day #253-
   Great news! Our case at the National Visa Center is FINALLY closed! I called yesterday, as I kept receiving emails requesting one of the tax information forms that I had sent out weeks ago. After waiting on hold for only 15 minutes, I was informed that our case has been closed!

So close....

Day #249-
   Still no husband, but I do feel a bit closer to getting him home! I met with an Immigration Attorney and he has, thankfully, agreed to work with us as a pro bono case! I can't tell you how excited and grateful we are. He had contacted Cynthia Lambert, they reporter from The Tribune, asking for our contact information.

Now, aint that funny

Day #235 -
We're still in the National Visa Center step of the process. And let me tell you, it's a NIGHTMARE! I'm not even sure where to begin.

Coming to a theatre near you!

Day #231 -
   I think I'm going to start pitching our story to all the major production companies. I'm pretty sure our story would make for a great movie. I can see it now! Kate Winslet would play myself, of course. Now, I know what you're thinking. Gisele Bundchen suits me much better. I know, I know. But I don't want to seem too full of myself! And, Gary, who would play Gary?

Denied...do not pass go...

Day #227-
   I was really hoping that this part of our Immigration journey, the NVC stage, would be quick and seamless. It has, unfortunately, been quite the opposite. First, they couldn't locate our petition for over a month. Nothing was done until we got Lois Capps involved. Now, we're being told and reading conflicting information. PLUS our request for expedite was denied. Apparently, we don't meet their criteria for an expedite. We weren't given a reason - just a denial.

One step closer

Day #223 -
   This blog is looonnnggg overdue! I apologize for the delay. So much has happened over the past week; I've just been so busy. I started the certificate program for Addiction Treatment just last week. Its a summer course, so its all jammed into eight weeks. I love the class and the Professor. It's nice to have a distraction from whats been going on, as far as Immigration is concerned. So lets get down to the nitty gritty!
