Please upgrade me! We got a court date for December 1. Just found a mistake on our I-171H though (with 6 days before travel), which I have another post about. So, hopefully we can get that worked out in time . . . I'm a bit panicked that we might lose the date for something so silly.

Waiter

My dossier for my Kaz boy is making its way through the consulate and ministries, and I hope to get an invitation to travel in the next 3-4 months. So I am officially a waiter. My daughter can't wait to have her brother home!

Has anyone heard from Abdulina? I had thought she would be home by now.

Dee

So glad things are progressing for you Dee!

I haven't heard from Stephanie (Abdulina)... I hope things are going well. I know she has her hands full.

I also want to hear from Stephanie. From what I've read Kasey arrived home on saturday so I gather Stephanie would have arrived home saturday at the earliest aswell!! I've read Kasey's blog so know she and her family are doing good, so we just need to hear from Stephanie. Thoughts and prayers with you Stephanie - update us when you can.
