TODAY'S NEWS

Allen has been trying to make some phone calls this week to see where our paperwork is at. He called me this afternoon after finally getting through to some LIVE people. We learned that our paperwork was sent to the National Visa Center (which is part of the US State Department). On September 5th, they forwarded it to the US Embassy in Manila. That, of course was almost two weeks ago. We were told that we should receive a letter any day indicating the appropriate travel times. One person told Allen that she was a bit surprised that we hadn't received that notification yet, but told us to watch for it sometime this week. We still don't have any concrete dates (and this information is still a bit vague), but it sounds as if things are indeed moving in the right direction.

Thank you for your supportive and kind words as we wait. Please keep praying for this to be over soon. We are trying to be patient, but not having very much success. We'll keep you posted!
