One Less Brick in the Wall

Well, it only took the RCMP a little over 6 months to process his fingerprints (she says sarcastically).  Apparently, if his fingertips were here in Canada, they could have done this in 24 hrs, but because said fingertips are down in El Salvador, and because the Immigration officer that processed his removal was an ignoramous who did not inform us that he should do the prints while his fingertips were still in Canada, we had to submit the fingerprints by ink the old fashioned way. 

So, finally after numerous emails, calls from our MP to their offices, phone mail messages never returned by the RCMP,  the day has finally come that we have received the documentation from the RCMP.  I think I should have a party.  Now the next couple of steps will take the next department anywhere from 6-12 months to process.

Then and ONLY then can we even submit all this to the Immigration department in Guatemala City - so right now, the Immigration person handling our file is sitting in limbo waiting for the LONG DELAYS of the various CANADIAN departments that take sooooooo long to process!  I mean, really, I don't understand why it takes so long to process this paperwork.

Oh, this is soooooo draining.
