Well as you can see by our blog entries things are moving quickly now. I just received tracking information that I will be receiving our authenticated dossier back today and i will in turn repackage it and Fed Ex it back out tonight to our CM. She will then Fed Ex it to Vietnam. I got a message from our director today that our dossier will go right to Hanoi for approval. Now here's the problem, there always is one. Vietnam celebrates Tet in ebruary therefore they shut down everything for a few weeks. So....no work done on our dossier. Darn!!!! But our director was hopeful. He said that the DIA in Vietnam said if they have our dossier in the beginning of February they could try to translate it quickly...usually takes about 5 days. Then it will sit and wait until after Tet to be finished. The good thing is that it should only take about 1 month to approve rather than the 3-4 month which we originally thought. So our director is estimating that hopefully we will have the dossier back in Da Nang mid MARCH. And HOPEFULLY we will have our referral by that point. It's still a waiting game!!!! But things are looking brighter.
Our neighbors across the road are in Florida until March 8th so she will be glad that when she comes home she will be in on all of this excitement too!!!! I guess I'll call her today and clue her in on what's going on.
