After many days (months maybe?) without any updates from the Bohorquez family you must be suffering. :)

Throughout my month(s) of absence here's what's happened. As you know on April 25 Eduardo was denied his visa. To sum it up I didn't prove enough "extreme" hardship if I had to move to Mexico and Eduardo colorful criminal past. So the day I got the noticed I emailed, faxed and mailed requests for a new appointment. We were just going to refile versus trying to appeal.

About two weeks later I got a letter from the Consulate General and they scheduled Eduardo's new appointment! I was in complete shock (well everyone was) that the appointment arrived so fast. His new appointment is Ciudad Juarez is July 8, 2008.

The next thing for me to do was to call to schedule the wavier appointment. Are you confused now? Ya I'm not surprised. Ok Eduardo's 1st appointment is to make sure he is eligible to file the wavier (aka the pardon). Once he is found eligible to file the wavier he can proceed to the 2nd appointment (aka The Wavier appointment). At the wavier appointment (August 7, 2008), Eduardo package is reviewed within the next 15-20 minutes he will either be 1. approved! or 2. sent to the "backlog" for further review.

Where do I stand with our whole impending move? Well I'm planning for both outcomes. If Eduardo's wavier/pardon is approved then I won't move to Mexico. However, if it sent to the backlog then I'll will move to Mexico in December. Waivers that have been backlogged can be approved (or denied) within 5 months or even a year. I would hate to tell Eduardo "let's just wait until a decision is made" before I move out there. The truth is that's exactly what I did last year. We wasted nearly a year and half just "waiting". I can't do that again.

So that's where we're at! In other non-immigration news... Aaron has lost his 4th baby tooth and he's currently enrolled in summer camp with the local park district. What's new with me? Aside from the "turning 30 in the next 6 months" nothing much.
