Did you all get caught in the Adam Walsh net?

Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

Thanks to all :) Yes we got caught very much in the Adam Walsh net, she was at her january 23rd interview with her daughter and got the news to go home. We then applied for a tourist visa, got that and now she is here in the US for a week now. She is loving it here, missing her daughter, but I am trying to keep her busy. So our big question, is do we dare to ask to delay the appointment to April?????? Do we trust that nothing else will happen??????????????????

We decided to delay the interview for April, let her daughter finish more of the school year. I have already been reminded its Womans Day so of course many flowers and she also instructed me its a day when men serve woman all day? I need supporting documentation on this??? ;)

To all, I have heard others are getting interviews rescheduled, so it should be soon for everyone. Good luck!!
