An Inch Closer...
Now that we have the I-171 we can move the ball closer to dossier submission. We have some vacation days starting July 9th and plan to go to Lansing for Apostille stamps on the 10th. We would have liked to drop everything and go now but work schedules, redo'ing now outdated documents and an upcoming holiday with friends coming to visit prevent us from going sooner. I will be patient and continue to plod along. Please keep us in your prayers.
