I hope and pray that their long weekend will leave them feeling refreshed and ready to work hard on issuing preapprovals!

This list is waaay too long! C'mon embassy, help clean up this list!

God bless,
Lisa

The Embassy is working!

I got an e-mail from the embassy...no, not pre-approval, they were responding to an e-mail I sent them 2 weeks ago! I saw the e-mail in my inbox and my heart skipped a beat. I was thinking"wow-Finally it's here!". Then the rude awakening! I wasn't even expecting a response because they alreay responded 10 days ago

But, the point is, they are working today, so hopefully they got a lot of work done considering all the lawyers, pgn were probably off? Wishful thinking....

Maybe they just the day training their temporary staff person so that they can be off and running with him/her first thing tomorrow?

Just trying...

Gailey Gail---Congrats on the match! I'll get you added to tomorrow's list.

Glad to hear the Embassy was working today. I'm still waiting for a reply to an email that I sent them two weeks ago---I wish they would respond with my preapproval!

I just keep thinking that I have to get it at some point because I haven't seen anybody else stuck here FOREVER! I picture myself still frantically checking this list when my daughter is 2, then 3, then 4, then 5 and so on and so on and so on. AACCCKKKK---I am feeling at the end of my rope this evening.

Jaime Christine---

I would love to add you to the list---just need to know the date you received a DNA match. The preapproval waiters list is based upon the date of DNA match and really is not connected at all to the Family Court process although Family Court often does happen at the same time you are waiting on preapproval from the Embassy.

If you have questions, feel free to ask---I'll try to help.

Greetings from Guatemala

The embassy IS working today. While I didn't go there :-( there were a number of families that did head there today.

Trip was great. It was so hard to give him back today. I heard that I'm out of FC and going into PGN w/o preapproval tomorrow. Looks like I'm joining the ranks of folks on two lists.

Here's hoping for everyone!
