Visas!

We are in the middle of applying for our visas. Our first applications are for our Canadian visas. After we receive those, we will apply for the US visas.

It has been interesting to fill out the forms. Everyone has to have a list of all of their siblings, half siblings, and step-siblings, with their birthdates. Also their parents and children and spouses. Since many of them are in traditional marriages, not registered with the government, there is an additional form to testify to their "common-law" marriage status. So many forms, so many dates, places to sign or NOT to sign.....but we are making progress!

The current hurdle is getting all the photos for the visa, explaining to the photo person that the background should be white or cream, the face large in the photo, the view straight on with the eyes looking straight at the photographer.

Sigh. This is hard...but now that we have experience, the next ones will be much easier!

Pray for favor, that all the visas will be granted.
