Countdown pictures (Part 2)

It appears like it is going to work out. It’s been a very long stressful process. She got the Apostille paperwork expedited thanks to our local congressional representative. Her Visa was shipped yesterday, hopefully will be here today or tomorrow. So I guess it’s a go!

Awesome news! For a while there it sounded like it wasn’t going to happen.

I was sure it wasn’t happening. If it wasn’t for our Rep getting involved, it would not have. There are quite a few kids in the program who are not going to be able to go because they couldn’t get their reps to intervene. It’s really a screwed up system, can take 11 weeks to get the apostille approved, and when it comes back it is nothing more than a piece of manilla paper attached with a stamp. 11 weeks for that. But if you can get your Rep to email them, they will pull your file and do it the next day. So a fastpass that you cannot control basically. We just got lucky.

This is greay news!

If your Rep. is who I think they are, it doesn’t suprise me they did this! Some offices care more than others!

@Flavita so excited for your trip!

Cathy McMorris Rodgers, or someone in her office. Avery tried a few others, but Cathy was the only one who offered to help.

That was who I assumed! Her office has that reputation. I really, really like her! I actually got to know her at Disney at an event. But I also ditched her at the tapstyles when their magic bands didn’t work and we had a Space FPP to get to :joy:

That’s so funny.
Tim has spent time with her at several work events here and likes her. Avery also just reminded me that she got to introduce her at a talk at her high school before covid. Anyway, we are happy she stepped up and helped.
