Great news....and really bad news.....


The great news first: Austin had his first day of kindergarten yesterday and had a fantastic day! I had to wake him up at 6:30 a.m. (!!), but he got right up, pumped his arm and said "Yeeesss!! First day of school!" I just love his zest for life, and his teacher, Mrs. P. is phenomenal! All around it was a great day.

The REALLY bad news: We heard from CIS this morning. The sent us a "Request for Additional Evidence" (RFE), which says they have to obtain additional information about our case. We have 84 days to submit the information, or we can withdraw our I-600 application. They provided specific information about Kai's birth which I will not share, but basically there was a discrepancy on some of the documents. We don't know what any of this means yet, but just continue to pray (hard!) and keep us in your thoughts. This is the worst possible scenario, short of an outright denial, which I cannot allow myself to even imagine is still a possibility, but it is.

You are definitely in our thoughts and prayers - we will be sending many your way! Hope your resolution comes fast - God always has his plan, even if it doesn't make any sense to us! I miss seeing you at St. Mark's - Jessica definitely misses her friends from there!

Wendy, I am sorry you are experiencing this stress. We, too, rec'd a RFE due to discrepancies in the paperwork. Our agency gathered and submitted the requested evidence nearly 4 weeks ago, and we continue to wait for CIS's final determination. Hang in there and take care. -Gina
