Disheartened by InfoPass.

The appointment at InfoPass did not help us in the way we would have liked it to. First of all, his work permit is just in limbo right now. The man said we should have received it by now, most likely, and that it wasn't returned. If we never get it, we have to reapply and pay the fees all over again, even though it's nothing we did. When we spoke with our attorney afterwards, he said just keep waiting for now. *Joy*. If we don't see it within another three weeks, we'll probably be going back to our friends at InfoPass.
Moreover, the gentleman we dealed with said that interview appointments are ranging from nine months to one year since the application was filed. This is more than twice as long than we expected. This alters every single plan we had so cheerfully made for next year. We can apply for a travel document if we'd like to go to Korea, but that will cost $305. Moreover, it's still possible we could get the green card before he even get the travel documents. Our lawyer said he's seen people get them after two weeks while others wait for months and months to receive them. THEN, what if we get our interview date while we are gone?
Thus, I came up with another idea for us that he seems to really like. I'll be digging around to get more info to see if it's even possible for us at this point in time, but yeah. I know God's just leading us in His direction, but our hearts just sank when we were at the appointment. We really couldn't even say anything to one another afterwards. It's hard, but it'll all be better than we can even think to imagine right now.
In other news, I am helping to take care of two of my brothers this weekend since my parents and two other brothers have driven down to Ohio for my sister's graduation and to move her back home. We ran around today to help my mom pick up a special PSP gift set for one of my brothers for Christmas, and I wanted to pick some stuff up to decorate the place when my sister gets back. I've decided to just bake a cake myself, though it will be simple, and decorate it. It'll surely be scrumptious, though. :) Again, buying the supplies to help her celebrate her engagement left me a little longing for such affection from her, but I just need to get over it.
Oh, and to not make her look totally unsupportive, she did give an absolutely beautiful speech at our wedding that got me all teary-eyed. It's hard to say exactly how supportive she is since she's been away for the past couple of years, but I guess now it's only a matter of time to truly see. She did make us a lovely scrapbook, though... :)
Anyway, it's time for me to wrap this up and bid good night.
