Still waiting

I haven't exhaled yet.

We went to a lawyer (Destination NZI Ltd), who was able to clarify our migration concerns , of course at a cost. The lawyer, Hema, is going to represent us in the application for work and student permit extensions as well as my husband's PR application. She recommended a clinic where we were able to have our medicals (with discount) and with the special urgent request on results. We were lucky there were two Filipina doctors in the clinic who were more than willing to accommodate the whole family. What would normally take a week or so we finished in 3 days.

We had to request for new NBI clearances. Dad, brother-in-law and friends helped a lot in making it possible to get things on time. It was good my husband and I had our NBI personal copies which is needed when you are requesting somebody else to process on your behalf. I sent our copies back to the Philippines through DHL with their money back guarantee if they fail to deliver before 9 am on the third day. But things don't go as you want them to - DHL did not deliver and they will refund us of the 149 $ courier fee.

And so we are still waiting...until we get those blue stickers only then can I exhale.

Thanks Ronald for the reminder. Indeed it's His assurances that keep us patient and strong.
