ReplyDeleteHi Desiree,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Ellie. It looks like you have your hands absolutely full, what a blessing! You may not have time, but I am in the same boat that you were just a few short months ago. Today our visa application for our two girls (sisters) was sent to Nairobi for further review. As you can understand, we are heartbroken and feel as if we've been left in the dark. We're having a hard time understanding what "further evidence" will look like and could use some guidance if you're willing to offer any. My email address is elinorcoleman@gmail.com. Thank you so much.
