What an amazing difference a single day can make.Our agency (WACAP) emailed me late yesterday to tell me that they had made a request on our behalf to our state for our clearances. And that our state (bless their hearts!) had agreed to do our clearances on. the. spot.Unbelievable.Then, our agency called USCIS and spoke to the officer handling our case. She explained the situation and he agreed to accept faxed copies of our clearances, which she then faxed to him immediately.Which means that our case is back on track to being approved.God is so good. And He is so good … [Read more...]

house hunting… oh my
Today is my third and final day up here in the beautiful North East. I ventured up here, alone, in hopes of finding the perfect house for our, er, little family, which is not such an easy task.Especially because the cost of housing up here, to me at least, is outrageous compared to what you can get for your $ in the good ol' Midwest.Another consideration is that we need to find a house now. Actually, like yesterday. We have sold our house (praise God!!!) and will start packing on the 23rd and out by the 27th. As in June 27th. So we're sorta gonna be homeless for a bit, … [Read more...]
