We Have an Appointment for Fingerprints
We both got our letters this morning. Our fingerprint appointment is scheduled for Friday, December 12, at 8am. Any guesses on how long we will have to wait for our approval once they get our fingerprints?
We did ours in September, and we still have not received our I71. I called the congressman and senator and it did not help. They say to check back in mid December. They have 90 days to process it, so far it looks like it is taking all 90 days lol.
Psalm 68:5-6 (New International Version) A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families, [a] he leads forth the prisoners with singing
Matthew 18:5 (New International Version) And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me.
Proverbs 31:8-9 (New International Version) "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy."
John 3:16-18 (New International Version) This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.
Proverbs 24:12 (New International Version) If you say, "But we knew nothing about this," does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay each person according to what he has done?
Our family lives in Auburn,Maine. Dan works as a caseworker for DHHS. Alice is a homeschool mom who works 2 days/wk. as a dental hygienist. We are active in our local church and homeschool group. Our family loves the theater! Dan and the kids are often seen onstage. Alice is usually seen applauding.
