VISA APPLICATIONS ARE IN!!!

Tuesday afternoon Melissa came home to find a note from the post office saying we'd received a registered letter from Japan. We were sure it was our certificates of eligibility for our Visa applications. We were sure our weeks of waiting were over. So when the letter turned out to be nothing more than Melissa's passport, which we'd sent to Japan so our boss could get the certs, we were more than a bit disappointed.

However, the next day there was another letter in the mail from Japan, and it was the certs! (This is really amazing because we found out that our paperwork had been turned in to the immigration office in Japan on June 17, and had been returned to our boss in Japan only ten days later. We were initially told that the process may take as long as long as two months).

Melissa mailed the certs. Along with our visa applications, passports, photos, etc. this morning and we should get them back late next week or early the following week, which will still be about a week before our plane leaves. SO--close, but not too close if you ask me.
