Then there is the completely ridiculous part about the dossier update. What the hell is that about? My agency just asked for some to. I mean really? New financial status, proof of emloyment (my in state agency certified all of this in the f-ing homestudy update), new petition letter, and a shitload more. Took the joy out of 'the last round' and satisfaction I was starting to feel.dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03893844670965039387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30204766.post-9007024942846408402010-03-26T12:47:33.482-04:002010-03-26T12:47:33.482-04:00Oh Special K!!!!!
What can be said?
I hear you!
I ...Oh Special K!!!!!<br />What can be said?<br />I hear you!<br />I can not even imagine how frustrated you feel (Ok this post sort of gets me in the general neighborhood of how you feel). <br />The hubs and I were just doing some Immigration stuff 2 days ago and I looked at the fine print and such and I realized, all of the sudden and with horrible reality- just what you and all those families waiting for this long have had to do! More and more paper work and money - all of the time. Just sending things down this black hole. <br />Maybe I'm not helping? I mean, I want to make you feel better but I just can't say all of the hang in there stuff (though it is all true, you WILL get her, you WILL hold her) it's just that I want you to know that I get it. I am with you.<br />It sucks.<br />Major Sheep Nads.<br />Sometimes I have to explain things to Les about what we have to do and he will say something like "Why? That has no logic." Then I freak out on him. Almost none of this has logic.<br />You know? I am waiting about 4 months longer than I should b/c my SW took 7 months to get my HS done!!!!!!<br />ARGGGGHHH!Michalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09869212261483706065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30204766.post-19532241909196279952010-03-26T10:29:34.091-04:002010-03-26T10:29:34.091-04:00I feel for you girl...this is all so unfair.

Most of the questions were asinine - I mean, why it is important to anyone where my sister is working? And, the last round of fingerprinting nearly threw me over the edge...seriously.wzgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803260442691384173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30204766.post-7155451435910221472010-03-26T10:11:56.378-04:002010-03-26T10:11:56.378-04:00I hear ya girl!!
