Our dossier did NOT get in on Monday. The line was just too long, and I guess our facilitator and her friend were not close enough to the front of the line. She is going to try again next week, and she said she will keep on trying until it gets in, but our documents will start to be disqualified (according to the 6 month rule) in a few months. I think the first document to expire is our INS approval. Three months before it expires, we will have to file a whole new application with a whole new application fee of $500. The INS doesn't do updates or extensions.
Its very touch and go - we have no clue when our dossier will get submitted, when and if it will be approved, and when we would be traveling. We have estimates and guesses, but no facts. Normally we would be used to that given that we have been at this for almost 2 years now, but now we are juggling having to move ahead of when we had scheduled, and with the timing of SnowWhite coming for hosting this summer.
