No progress on the paperwork.

Does an update count as an update if you're told you are at the same place you were a month ago? We're still at Step 7. The email we received today told us we will be at Step 8 in "a week or so", and it also warned us that the timeline for THAT step will likely take longer than normal because of the Tet holiday in Vietnam that apparently shuts down the government offices for almost the entire month. Our expectation of January travel got readjusted to February, then to March. Now I suppose March may be optimistic.
Very disheartened tonight.

Happy Birthday, Sam!

Well, little buddy, sorry we couldn't make it to celebrate your birthday. Don't worry--we'll make up for lost time really soon. We are anxiously waiting news on the paperwork progress. Kinda bummed that we're still at Step 7, but hopefully something next week. Hang in there and happy birthday!
