This past weekend Paul and I had to trek back down the CIS (Citizenship and Immigration Services)office to get our fingerprints done again. Our approval that we received from the government to bring Avery back to the US and have her become a US citizen has expired. We are now in the process of renewing it and one of the steps involved includes getting re-fingerprinted. I am happy to say that we now have that behind us. We just lack a couple more documents and we will have everything gathered to resubmit our papers. The most frustrating part of the whole renewal process is that it has absolutely nothing to do with China, it is the US government that is requiring this check. I guess they want to make sure we did not turn into criminals during the last year and a half. Oh well, just another step to complete.
We did treat ourselves afterwards because let's face it: spending several hours on a Saturday in a loud, crowded, ugly, government office was not a load of fun. So after we were done we purchased a Wii game system. Paul has been wanting one of these every since he played it at Anton and Christie's back in January. They are still hard to find but we finally got our hands on one and spent the rest of our Saturday battling it out.
I know....I know.....we have such an exciting life!
