Just more waiting

As many of you know, I monitor a few websites and chat/forums groups. I feel pretty confident about my resubmit to PGN. But I haven't decided if I want to call down there again or not. I've seen quite a bit of misinformation coming out of there. (the person we all used to ask for, Laura, has left PGN for a new job) However, on the other hand, some of the information is very encouraging. I have seen a few people who were submitted/resubmitted the same week as me who are now with the second reviewer. We have to go through two reviewers and then our files are presented to Sr. Barrios for signature and this is when I get to shout, "I'm OUT!!!" I'd love to think I too am with the 2nd reviewer but who knows. Maybe I'll try to call this week.

Another thing I've seen and am looking for confirmation on is the recent firings of more employees of the CR at Mixco. This could be good and bad. Guatemala is trying to eliminate the coruption which is of course a very good thing. But if the CR is short staffed that may slow things down just as much as the corruption did. Supposedly the government is in the process of instituting a central agency to handle ALL birth certificates. It is referred to on all the sites I watch as RENAP. (I have no idea what this stands for or at least I can't remember right now.) But I do know that this would be great. I am hopeful that this may be more operational in the next few weeks and then Charlotte's BC can be done so much faster than the potential 8 week wait some have had.

Well, as I know more, I'll keep you posted. And if I do call PGN this week, I'll post that too.

Thanks for checking in with us.
