visa issues

DSC00006

When Brianna returned from the United States after her visit last summer, she found out and subsequently, we found out that her paperwork had been done incorrectly when we entered the country to start our mission. She had the good fortune and the presence of mind when she saw her high school principal, who was also returning that day, to ask him to pay her entrance fee into the country…$170! And he did! Thankfully!

We have had several adventures into the city trying to comply with all the rules and regulations that this has generated. Here we are one day quite a few months ago in front the police station with Elder Dorius and Elder Skousen who were doing their best to help us make it happen.

That day, we also went to Immigrations and the US Embassy, TWICE.

Well, it has now been nine months and we still don’t have the visa. I check on it about every two weeks. We are wondering if it will arrive in time for her to make a trip to the States this summer or not. We are not willing to gamble that she will be able to get back in if she leaves without everything in order.
