More USCIS............


(Immigration Officer)


You have all likely read the drama from Monday 4/26, concerning the non-existent documents that USCIS was requesting from us. Items and documents that simply are not available in Ethiopia.

After we mentally processed this information and e-mailed our agency, they contacted us and said they would have their coordinator in Ethiopia write a letter, as would our agency's United States office, which would be sent back to USCIS for review this week. However, if this was not helpful, we should get our senators and congressman involved. Sounds like a lot of fun, right? Well, while we waited, the immigration officer contacted our agency on Thursday 4/29, to let them know that they accepted the extra documentation that both the United States and Ethiopia had provided, and were ready to adjudicate the file...... Oh, but not without a catch....they could not seem to find the notarized divorce decrees for our previous marriages (which I most certainly sent.) Matt gave our agency permission to fax those decrees directly to USCIS (so now they have them).

Based on all of this, our agency told us that as long as the National Visa Center receives this information by next week, ChallieJayne should be on track to be home by the end of May or early June!


Still praying fervently here......................
Our agency has really been here for us when the times got rough!

More later.....................




I WILL PRAISE YOU IN THE STORM.....................
