Visa #1: Finally.

You may not believe it, but I have my visa. And the picture to the right is proof.

93 days ago, we sent in the first document for the process. About 79 days ago, the government office started the official process. And now – what else can I say? It’s done!

So what’s the next step? The next step is to continue our quest to get licence plates for our van, which we haven’t been able to drive since January. They were supposed to call us when the paperwork was ready from their end, but we haven’t heard from them yet. So – a little face-to-face will be taking place in the next week or two (we’re going to be away a good part of next week, otherwise I would be a little more sure on the date).

Now that I have my visa, the rest of the family can begin the process for theirs. That won’t actually happen until late in the summer, because there are limits on how soon we can begin the process.

So, the adventure continues – but this is a big step in the right direction!

Thanks for your prayers!
