So its about time for an update. So many things have happened since my last post I know many of you are anxious for one. Let's start with the most important (and obviously the point of this blog)
Eduardo
As most of you know Eduardo had a appointment in October and now the consulate said that all they knew about my husband was his past. Based on their findings my husband was associated with the gangs but not an actual member. Therefore they could not issue a visa nor give him the chance to file the I601 wavier (the pardon). However she said that if he sent her copies of:
Then they will allow him to proceed to the wavier. They know he is a minister/pastor now but they have no proof of it. Getting the items above is no problem because I have all these things. Some items I had to wait for my mother-in-law to send which finally arrived last Thursday. (Don't even ask about this.)
I thought that the person who is reviewing my husband's case would be the same person that would review him again at the I601 Wavier. But my attorney mentioned that it's actually two different departments. Here's what bugs me. Eduardo has gone through this abnormally long, drawen out detailed background check by one department. Now I find out that for the visa appointment its going to be ANOTHER department? My concern is that this other department MIGHT just ignore the fact we went through the ring of fire and see a criminal history and we won't get a same day approval for Eduardo's visa.
Doesn't these extremely detailed background check on my husband count for anything at the wavier appointment? My attorney will argue that fact and it is my hope that both departments will just let us proceed and HOPEFULLY get the visa the same day.
Me
So I noticed that the last time I posted something I was talking about our company layoffs. Well we had some more last Wednesday and thank God I'm still here. By the sound of it might be triple work for me. But my mom said I need to budget my time wisely and I'll get through the days. Makes a lot of sense and I'll have to put it to use.
At church we had elections for new positions within the groups. I don't know if I mentioned this but I was the secretary for the Ladies League and I feel like a did a crummy job. Well apparently my thought was correct because I wasn't re-elected.
Aaron
Aaron's probably doing a lot better then Eduardo and I put together. He's enjoying school and maintains his solid "C" average.
Regardless of what's life is throwing at us we're doing well. We're thankful for each other support, our family support, our church support and our friend support. We appreciate each one of you!
