I can't believe that we are leaving for Kazakhstan tomorrow! Some of the time it feels like forever that we've been on this road, and then the rest of the time it's rushing past. The packing is mostly done - we still have to repack things once Clint makes it to DC, but that seems small now. The big thing we're trying not to stress about is our visas - they aren't here yet - which means that we'll be waiting on a 10:30am delivery tomorrow. This wouldn't really be a big problem except that FedEx's are notoriously late here and we have to leave for the airport at noon. The other problem is that our passports are with our visas and we still don't have apostilled copies of them. We thought we did but the Sec of State's office in GA mailed them back to us NOT done because we didn't fill out the proper passport affidavit forms, and instead of calling us and letting us know they just overnighted them back to us. Now we have to scramble around today and figure out how to get those done in DC...assuming we don't need the actual passports to do this. The fun never ends!
Please pray with us that our visas get here by the 10:30am guaranteed delivery time tomorrow!!

we were in the same situation with our visas. we actually had to pick them up on the way to the airport! praying everything falls into place and you feel at peace about everything!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's just crazy with the apostille! Praying it all works out!
ReplyDeleteFortunately in spite of the chaos everything usually comes together at the last minute. You may want to get on the phone to the Consulate to make sure that they will send your visas today. And closely track them via Fedex online and by phone so if you have to go pick them up somewhere you can (better than chasing a fedex truck around town, I bet!). That IS crazy with the apostille. We are fortunate that our state does this on a walk-in basis. How about GA? Oh, and a big p.s., we got word of our trip back and we should arrive in Semey around the 7th or 8th August. Though we only plan on spending a couple of days there, it will be great to meet in person and see you new little one. Good luck with the last minute chaos!
