Sorry Omoba, I just saw this message today. No, there is no update yet. I called DOS on Thursday to see if there was any update, but nothing has changed. We are still on AP. I also wrote for the second time to the embassy on Thursday to inquire about our case, no answer. I had originally written the embassy on Sept. 29 and that was not answered. It doesn't surprise me though, they are not known for answering emails too often. I will have my congressman make another inquiry, probably Monday.

I would love to meet some time for coffee, but I don't know much about Bellville. There is this great place in Fairview Heights called Lotawata Creek. Not sure if you know where that is, but we could meet there. I work from home so don't get out much and that would be a welcome relief.

Any news yet Kelly ?

I just realized that we live very close, about 30 min ! We should hook up some time for a cup of coffee or something.

Could we meet in B'ville ?

Thanks for your reply Sylvia. I got the auto response both times I emailed, but I got no reply. The first email was sent on a Monday and this last one I sent was on Thursday morning.

If you email the embassy and don't get the autoresponse the email has gone into never neverland Especially on weekends they have the email off and it trashes mails recieved then.
