10 months and still counting...

Well, it has been more than 10 months since China logged in my application. Even though I still don't have a referral, at least my application was officially approved. The past month has been busy. My INS fingerprints expired so I had to get them redone and was yelled at again since my fingerprints are apparently wearing off. My first set was declined and when they did the second set they also had me sign a sworn agreement stating that I am not a criminal. I also had the bachelorette party and wedding for my friend Renee, and the wedding for my cousin, Don. Now that the holidays are approaching, I am hoping the wait seems to move faster. In the meantime, I will try to keep busy and keep optimistic. Thanks again for the support and good wishes.
