Max's Visa

It's been four long months seeing Max! Fortunately, we've been able to stay in close communication through email, phone, and Skype. Recently, though, Max accepted a new job position working for a company in the Andes mountains (about 12,000 feet above sea-level!), and our communication has been limited because of his rural setting. It's been tough not being able to see his face on Skype and call him when I want to, but at least we can keep sending text messages (I think we're keeping Verizon in business!).

The most recent development in the whole visa process is that we hired a lawyer! What a relief for me, now that I don't have to worry about misinterpreting forms or forgetting to complete certain paperwork. Our lawyer is a full-fledged immigration attorney. You can see his profile and website at http://www.foleylawoffices.com/Attorneys . He's incredibly knowledgeable and personable too. My dad went along with me to our consultation on Monday, and we both were impressed with his character, work, and multitude of interesting immigration stories. The entire process is predicted to be about 8 months. I don't really care how long it takes, just as long as I know Max will be here with me!
