We have tickets on hold!!!!! It is an awesome flight, leaving Saturday afternoon, flying to Washington DC, 4 hour layover, and then a direct flight to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia with a 45 minute stop in Rome for refueling (how awesome is God - we wanted to spend am extra day in Italy but that is not to be with no vacation time for Mike but we are still getting to "stop" there!)!!! Same thing on the way back, leaving Ethiopia at 10:15pm Friday night, lay over in Rome for refueling and NOT having to get off the plane with the boys, back to Washington DC arriving Saturday morning, 5 hour lay over, and then arriving home in the afternoon. We are able to hold the tickets until Thursday.
Our agency America World has okayed our flight itinerary!
However, and this is a big but expected however, the Embassy in Ethiopia does not have our updated home study age range. That information needs to be on file before we can travel. It was already on our list to call the National Visa Center (NVC) Tuesday afternoon to see if they had received the updated information or if United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) needs to resend the information (which they have had since the first day or two of December). We have been told that NVC id "notoriously unorganized" (reassuring, huh!?) and to get a supervisor involved in the case. Mike will be making that call Tuesday afternoon, as we know from our Yahoo Group that afternoons seem to be the best time to call. PLEASE PRAY that a compassionate person answered the phone and wants to do everything in his/her power to help us!!!
