Embassy update

I called the embassy today to get a status report. It's been two weeks since our I-600 interview and we should have heard back a week ago.

They're still trying to track down one of the witnesses in either William's or Ava's case (he couldn't recall which, but we're assuming it's William). They've been trying to find the witness and haven't had any success so far. He (the embassy guy) did think they'd get to him (the witness) either today or tomorrow, and HCMC would get the case later this week. Assuming that Mister X exists and states the same facts that he did when the baby was abandoned, we should get a (favorable) ruling from USCIS later this week (Thursday). We would get our visa Friday and be homeward bound on Saturday. Assuming they can find the guy.

The other families are in a better position than we are. Their docs are in HCMC and they should hear back today or tomorrow.

I'm glad at least you guys are getting some answers. Hopefully they can find this guy (do they question everyone who is a witness in abandonments?), and you guys can be on your way with the cutie babies!

So glad to hear that there's finally some forward momentum after such a long stall. Thinking of you guys daily here in Brooklyn and know you'll be Texas bound soon with those two BEAUTIFUL little ones. Sending love your way!
