The paperwork has been sent

On Tuesday, exactly two months after we received our Request for Evidence from USCIS, we sent our paperwork back to be reviewed for a final decision on Maggie's Visa.  I never anticipated it would take that long.  We had plans to send it earlier, but that just didn't happen.  Everything was complete weeks ago, we were just waiting for two documents.  I told myself everything would happen in a timely manner, but recently found myself exhibiting the same antsy-ness as my 10 year old stuck at home on summer break with no one but his mom to play with!  (Yes, 10 year old.  Can you believe it?  He turned 10 on June 1st.  Time flies!)  I was getting anxious, knowing that our hopeful timeline of Maggie coming back with Steve on July 31st was getting less and less hopeful as the days passed.  I realize that I am not a nice person when I am anxious.  I suppose I can't really say that I am an overly nice person anyway.  I've always secretly envied the "nice-ness" in others when I just can't seem to get rid of my stubborn "know-it-all" edge.  So in times of anxiousness you can imagine how things play out.  All that being said, everything is now out of our hands.  It is nothing but a waiting game at this point.  I wish I could say how long this will take.  All I know is that USCIS says they process these things as soon as the papers reach their office.  The hope is still that Maggie can return with Steve on July 31st.  We are looking forward to an August full of new things!  Thanks to everyone who has been asking about the process and keeping us in prayer.  Continue all of those things!  We greatly appreciate your support as we wait.
