Hello!
We have a court date,
and time!
Monday, June 16, 2008 at 2:30pm Astrakhan time!
We do not yet know our exact dates of travel. If we had to estimate the question on everyone's mind, "When will you get back with her?" we would say; well, there's a 10 day mandatory waiting period after all court proceedings, so we should pick her up on Thursday, June 26, then it takes 7 days to process her passport, that takes us to July 3rd. You always get the passports in the evening, so we couldn't fly to Moscow until the morning of July 4th. Now, that's a Friday and we have to have a medical appointment for her in Moscow, so that probably couldn't be until Monday the 7th, I believe we also turn in some paperwork to the American Embassy that day as well. Then, we have an American Embassy interview the next day, so that would be July 8th, then I suppose we could fly home July 9th. This is just how our representative and interpreter Galina and Vica told us to calculate it, but we'll know for sure soon, and when we do I'll be sure to post it right here!
