Ok, No More Crying, "Wolf!"

We actually did get some news today...and while it wasn't the news that we were hoping for it was the news that we were kind of expecting.

Crystal,

Unfortunately it looks like your Home Ownership letter not having a return address is going to get your dossier rejected. (i.e. it has not been rejected yet) S said that I can use all the other apostilled docs that I have the second set of to replace the ones that need replacing so we just need to redo the home ownership letter. She wants it as soon as possible - I am sending everything else in a fedex today.

Make sure it's on letterhead WITH A RETURN ADDRESS

So this is what we got today from our facilitator...

Don't worry, Loyal Readers, here is where it gets good...

The document that threw this into a tizzy was a letter from our bank which verified that we own our home. It made it though my checking and our facilitator checking it. All the way to Ukraine before anyone noticed that it didn't have a return address on the letterhead. BAH!!!!

Remember that "missing dossier" that turned up? That is the "other apostilled documents" that our facilitator referred to. Thanks to having a second dossier up our sleeves this doesn't set us back but a couple of weeks. No biggie. Because if we traveled when we had first planned it would be twice the cost of tickets the following week.

Interesting little side note: today when I was getting the new letter picked up at the bank the only reason that they could figure that a piece of letterhead didn't have the return address is that the printer must have made an error when they were manufacturing the paper. They missed only one sheet. Which just happened to be our sheet.

What this all means is that when the SDA pushes back our dossier through the window and says that we need to make corrections, our facilitator will pull our "missing dossier" out of her bag and say "Done and done!"

And you know what? Our dossier still hasn't been rejected. It is like 99% positive that it will be, but I believe in a Big God. A God who knew where our missing dossier was all along. A God who blinded countless eyes to the wrong piece of paper. A God that has been putting this story together from the beginning.

And I am in awe.
