Photo updates

Due to various circumstances, the photos are later, but they're here. I didn't get any update on Islande. (Received them later: June update: Islande

A friend who returned from Haiti yesterday e-mailed:
Yesterday your daughter was very sad asking when you would come to see her. I told her you would come soon. She said she really missed you.

I wasn't planning on this trip, but I am really glad I am going, especially now.

My airfare is booked. My appointment to sign my I-600 at the USCIS office in Haiti has been made. I am frantically trying to get the "certificate of good communal living" through all its steps to get it down to Haiti (notarization -- done; authentication at the Secretary of State in Denver -- tomorrow; off to Haitian Consulate in Chicago for legalization -- tomorrow). The director said she'll have it translated in Haiti.

We are entering our ninth month in IBESR. (I know I said that before, but I miscounted.) Please pray that we are released as soon as they receive the certificate. There are several families in the same stage we are, with our dossiers waiting on the director's desk. Pray us out.
