11 months after our initial interview, after AP, a stolen passport, 3 police certificates and 2 medical clearances, we have the visa!! The embassy called Babs last week and asked him to come in this Wednesday with his passport and updated medical. His medical was finished in just three days, he had to run and pick it up on the same morning as his appointment at the embassy. The CO told him that his name causes extra AP, and then he said he didn't want to delay him any longer, so he told him to come back today, only 2 days later, to pick up the visa.

We are just thanking God and praying for a safe journey!
