The Process from Here

Kate just called & all of our paperwork was correct! The process (as we understand it..please correct me if I'm wrong) from here is this: The AGCI coordinator in Ethioia is opening our file at the Ministry of Women's Affairs (MOWA) & the Federal Court of Addis Ababa. Once our file is reviewed by MOWA it will then go to the Courts for the Court date—this will be scheduled up to 2-3 weeks later. We have to keep in mind that it may not get scheduled until after courts reopen in October. We'll see. We are definately praying that it will get scheduled by the end of July (before courts close for August & September)! After the court decree is issued (whether it's before court closure or after), AGCI will request our U.S. Embassy appointment . Once this is scheduled, this will be the magic date that we have to be in Ethiopia (usually it's 2-3 weeks after the Court Decree is issued).
