Done Waiting!

Yesterday we went to the Boston office of the USCIS to check the status of our case. We found out that Apoorva’s name has not even been cleared by the FBI yet (has to make sure he’s not a terrorist or anything of course!) and even if it was they are all booked through August with interviews. So it’s more than likely we wont even be scheduled till the end of the summer and our interview will not be until September (at least that’s what it looks like, it’s impossible to get a straight answer from them).

Since Johnson & Johnson will not wait that long for Apoorva to come to India, and our lawyer says at this point it’s easier to get the interview delayed than get it scheduled sooner, we have decided to just go to India, and then come back for the interview. Apoorva already has papers that will let him travel outside the country and then come back in (theoretically... knock on wood). So we will just suck it up and fly back here in a few months.

Now we are busy packing, selling, and storing the remainder of our possessions. My parents and grandparents will be coming out next weekend. And then we leave on the 13th!
