Mini-Update

Ok,

Here’s what you should know. The State Department (Homeland Security) made the final decision to deny my Eduardo the chance to file the pardon. The American Consulate in Mexico agreed with the State Department and the process was over for us.

We started working with a group called Westside Minister’s Coalition (WMC) and they in turned had us work with Senator Roland Burris. Well you know that whole scandal with Gov. Blago and Burris. WMC told us that whole thing with Burris was going to blow over and for while I didn’t see it happening but apparently it has.

WMC has kept in touch with my mom and the status of getting that decision overturned. The last we heard was the Burris had this binder I created for WMC. The binder included a personal letter from me, our timeline, my husband's police records and court dispositions, letters of rehabilitation, copies of his diplomas, pictures of us, pictures of my husband preaching, etc.

So at this point the State Department is reviewing our case again. Pray for a favorable decision because we’re supposed to hear back by the end of the week.
