Refusal letter submission

Arrived at the SDA around 9am. Sveta submitted the proper paperwork but then was told that the copy of our Dossier would not be sufficient that they needed our original. So back to the apartment to pick up the correct paperwork and back to the SDA. She was surprised by this and said it is something new, that the other facilitators were questioning it as well.
Had to go to the bank, grocery store and take care of a few other things. We were told to call the SDA at 4:30 pm today to find out when our 2nd appointment will be which we did, however they did not have any information for us yet so we are waiting...you would think we would be used to waiting but today was hard! We should know something in the next day or two. Decided since we are here for alittle while we should cook instead of eating out each day. Plus my waist can't take anymore greasy potatoes...at least for a few days.
Doing our best to stay positive but like I said today was a tough day...very overwhelming.
Tomorrow is going to be a better day!

Just add this bad day to all the others you have had during this journey...the trips to Van Nuys and to Norwalk and to the State Department...this is not the "signature event." But with all the doubts, misery, and dumb clerks, you persisted and got to the point you are at now. IT WILL WORK!!!!!
LOVE YOU,
MOMMASHANES AND DAD

The SDA sounds just like our corporate office...always one more piece of paper...one more form...one more deadline!! But we continue to do what we have to do and so will you! By the time you're done, we'll all know more "Snapple Facts" about the Ukraine that we do about the USA...but when it gets you the result you want, it will all be worth it! (And think of how good we'll all be at Ukrainian Trivial Pursuit!)

Stay strong. Stay focused!

Love, J

Just want you both to know we love you. Looks like you're hanging tough and staying positive. That gives us all hope over here. Thanks for sending the bigger pictures, so we can save them. Brighter things will come tomorrow. Stay true to each other and your wishes will come true. The answer is YES!

Love, Steve and Sylvia
