10 months later

Lots of waiting, and it came down to the last 20 minutes on the last possible day.


As you can see, my temporary residency permit was approved...on September 23, the date that they had promised. 5 months after submitting my application. But I didn't know it was going to be "in limbo" for the next 3 weeks...something I will be warning other applicants about!


The work's not quite over; I have to submit another round of documents in a very short amount of time. But at this point I am in! Praise the Lord.

    Several forms where I have to write all my various addresses multiple times in different ways, plus all the information about how/when I received the residency permit. And 3 forms from the people at whose apartment I'll be registered.
