Just around the corner

We received the amended I-171H in the mail on Friday. Thank you Lord! Our agency has another couple in the same situation and the US Consulate in Bogota issued the letter to begin court proceedings based on the amended I-171H. The National Visa Center still needs paperwork from CIS to send the cable visa to the US Consulate in Bogota. So, we will continue to check that this week.

We had the travel call with our agency which lasted about two hours. The call contained information regarding additional forms to fill out before we travel. We also talked through every step of the trip in detail so we know what to expect. It was a lot of information and we took three pages of notes. We also purchased a few more entertaining items for the boys since we learned there are a few lengthy appointments.

Today we thrift store shopped to provide clothes for the boys. Apparently, they will only have the clothes they are wearing. So, we used the year old height and weight information and an internet children’s clothing size chart to guess their current sizes. Hopefully we are close enough to provide some wearable items. We will also purchase shoes in Bogota.

We are so very thankful for the wisdom and guidance God is providing through this journey.

The coming week will be final paperwork prep and packing. Then it is off to Bogota!
