Finally! Some news!

So... not much has happened since my post on August 26th... well, except the fact that it was all a lie... Apparently, the "Bureau for Consular Affairs," which sent me the bogus letter telling me that Palwesh's approved petition would be headed to the Delhi Embassy in a week, was a farce. Here we are, 4 weeks later, and I FINALLY received an email from the National Visa Center today, stating the following:

Dear Sir/Madam, (apparently the name 'Anita' is transgendered now)

The NVC has completed its processing of the visa petition you mentioned in your letter and
has forwarded the petition to the assigned US Embassy/Consulate General for further
processing.

As the file is no longer at the NVC, please notify the assigned US Embassy or Consulate
General of your change of mailing address and email address (if applicable).

Any further inquiries should be directed to the assigned US Embassy or Consulate General.

So... seeing as the Embassy has been GREAT about communicating with me (imagine my surprise!) I have sent yet another email to them, asking them to change Palwesh's mailing address since he has shifted apartments since the original paperwork was sent in.

PLEASE pray they do this... QUICKLY!

October 16th will mark one year since I have seen Palwesh... Wouldn't it be awesome if God supernaturally intervenes and he was able to arrive here that day?????

Thanks for praying, friends!!!

Enjoying the delectables at Crave with Miss Katie!

Vaccinations...

So... looking ahead to all that Palwesh *might* have to do to procure a Visa, I found the list of vaccinations that are required for US entry. Keep in mind, if he HAS had any of these shots, the orphanage he was raised in kept no records, therefore he could have to get them ALL again! Please pray that he remains healthy through this process!
