1 down and 14 to go

Ah, the mysteries of Homeland Security.
It appears that Homeland Security is on the ball in regards to our case. You see, Mr. Donaghy is a Canadian and since we've been married, we have applied for his Green Card. Our immigration attorney had advised us that the entire process could take 6 months to one year as the government agency has been bombarded with applications and like any true beauroracray, they like to take their sweet time making people wait. (Living life in the private sector is very much free and democratic. One is free to do as they please with minimal wait times. However, once one calls upon the government for anything, one feels like they are dealing with Big Brother and that can be very scary.) Believe me, I am not complaining because for some reason, our application has been pushed through in a very expediate manner. We filed on July 19th. We were told the fingerprinting would be done in three months and our interview could be anticipated for February 2008. Mr. Donaghy got fingerprinted on September 11th...one month early.
