My agency said Posada begins Dec. 16th?
I spoke with my agency today. They said that Posada begins Dec. 16th. It is some kind of holiday - a nightly countdown to Christmas. They said that it is not an official government holiday, but that most people are off from work. They said that PGN will be open, however with what you could call a skeleton crew. They said for me not to wait for any progress on our case from Dec 16 until after New Years. I found this out today and find it very discouraging. Has anyone else heard this from their agency? I'm in denial that this really true. Thanks.

It's very possible. Last year things did slow down a bit. But, there was some movement. Last year if one office was moving, another was closed.

I don't know who is off but I know that Las Posadas begins on December 16th. There are a lot of good kids books on it if you want to know anything about it.

My agency said not to expect updates from the 16th to the 28th. They said if they did receive news during this time that they would of course pass it on.

I was told the same thing by our facilitator. She said that if we don't get out next week that it won't happen until after the new year. I'm pretty much resigned that it won't happen until January. Of course, I would love to be surprised!

Thank you to everyone who wrote back. I guess I didn't want to believe it was true. But, I am hoping and praying for all of us to get our Christmas miracle.

Our agency says that PGN does not really close for the Holidays--actually just two days at Christmas Week, and two days for New Year's Week.

I feel better knowing this. At least there are two weeks when I won't get my hopes up and jump every time the phone rings.
