Pre-Approval Finally!!!

Don;t get to post much with a 22 1/2 month old but, we finally received our pre-approval today after a long 2 month wait, calling congressmen and senators! We named our second son after my father who would have been the boys' only grandfather, and sadly my father died last week without getting to meet Kiefer. But at least he got to see photos and here our stories of our visit with Kiefer a few weeks ago.
How fast has PGN been moving lately? Our BC is not coming from Guatemala City so that is good, it is coming from Mixco, anyone recently get a BC from there? How long did it take?
Good luck to all!

Congrats - that was a long wait for preapproval. PGN seems to be better than it was in the spring, but still very arbitrary with some people waiting a lot longer than others. Hope your wait is short to make up for that long preapproval wait (wouldn't it be nice if they took things like that into consideration?).
Good luck!

Congratulations on preapproval! It sounds like your being pulled in several different directions right now. I hope you get out of PGN quickly and get your baby home ASAP!
