Urgent Prayer Need

We are STILL waiting for Macy and Mia's FBI background checks to come in.  We started this process early April...and 8 weeks AFTER we sent their fingerprints in - they sent us a letter that the original prints were not readable by the machine.  Argh!  You would think they could have let us know that sooner!

So we had their fingerprints re-done that day by a state trooper and sent them back to the FBI via Fed Ex.  And we have been WAITING!  You would think that since we have been in this process since April that they would EXPEDITE their second set of prints....right?

I called yesterday and spoke with someone at the FBI office - and she said that the second set of prints had to start all over in the process!  So 4-5 MORE weeks before they will be finished!  What?!  We MUST have these background checks BEFORE we can go to the Consulate for our Visas!

I called our State Senator's office yesterday to enlist their help!  They are going to bat for us to see if they can get anything to move more quickly.

Please pray!  GOD can move these papers quicker than any Senator, Government office, or anyone!

Believing God for miracles in paperwork!

Hey guys, been reading your blog. Congrats on reaching full support!

I couldn't tell for sure from your post if you had contacted your State Senator or the US Senator from your state. If you contacted your State Senator I'd encourage you to contact your US Senator as well. He or she will probably have a great deal more influence with the FBI.

Blessings,
Will

Yes, Will, it is our US Senator! I should have known to tap into you as a resource! Thanks!
