Suzanne,

Please call the office of one of your Senators. I had a paperwork problem and my senator's office called for me. They got right through to the person who could handle the situation and it got taken care of very quickly.

Best of luck.

Rebecca

Sorry I can't help but offering a prayer for your family. Lord we lift up little Memo and his family to you this morning. We are so thankful that they are so close to bringing their little man home. We know how excited Memo and everyone else is for this day to arrive. We pray for your hand on this last part of the process. This family has endured so much suffering and we thank you for being with them through this hard time. We ask now to let this be the end of their difficulties in this process. Guide them to know where to turn at this point. May they feel your peace and provisions today Lord. In Jesus' precious name.

Hi-
Do you still need a contact and number there or did you already get help with the other posters?

Please PM me if you haven't found a contact yet. I may be able to help.

Suzanne,
Your PM box is full.

I hope the Embassy is not being a back-side about his visa! At some point this nonsense has GOT to end!!!

Unfortunately, I have had many dealings with our US Embassy. I tried to PM you with the phone numbers, but your box is full. Good luck.

I would try your senators too - it helped us at one point too - they get a response back from US Embassy in just a few days. I hope you can get the answers you need.

It has already been said...but contact your state representatives. I have heard in quite a few cases where they have been able to help with embassy issues when you are at the end of the process.

God bless.
