Passports? CHECK!!

We'll take the good with the bad.

The Good - WE GOT OUR PASSPORTS TODAY!

The Bad - The U.S. Embassy doesn't have an available appointment for us until next Monday. This means we have to reschedule our flight [again].

The Story - We were told we would get the passports by 10 a.m, but of course, these things never actually happen on time. Upon entering the Commissioner's office, a man scolded me sharply, saying the passports wouldn't be ready until after lunch and that we could not wait outside the Commissioner's office. After this, we got a hold of the lawyer's assistant and she was TREMENDOUSLY helpful.

She answered all our questions, phone calls, and worked very quickly. Around 11, she told us our passports would be in the next batch of those being called! Sure enough, they were. We had to leave to make copies of our passports for their records, but they squeezed us right in when we came back and we were out the door [forever!] by 1:00.

Unfortunately, the U.S. Embassy doesn't accept paperwork for immigrant visas passed noon, so we missed the cut off there. They're also only open on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Lastly, their next available appointment isn't until next Monday. Therefore, we won't be traveling until Thursday, November 1st.

So, that's that. We'll see you all in November!
