So, the week from hell in terms of disappointments continues, with no good news, but some developments. It must be the moon (we both are cancerians), that I feel so down.
Yesterday morning, the POAs arrived from Liana and we rushed to get the money order for the Embassy, from the post office, then rushed to the Embassy of Kaz to hand over the POAs. These now will be legalized by the consul and then we will pick them up and courier them along with the translated notarised versions of the same sent by L already to us on Liana's behalf to the MEA (Ministry of External Affairs*-the ones currently causing the delay) in Astana, Kaz.
Update: Just heard from L at 11am that the POAs have been authenticated by the MEA, Canada and we expect the Consol of Kaz to sign it on Monday so we can courier it to Astana then, directly from here with the notarized translations.
Def helps being in Ottawa, that way we can just take ours and K&J's files together directly to the consulate for things to be done.
Once this is done, hopefully they will accept the other papers that Tanya is also sending them that they asked for, along with these POAs and send the LOI so that we can apply for the expedited visa and be on our way. I know things get delayed in this process, but we were all thinking originally that the baby would have been here by March end, and we are still here.
On the other hand, my lovely teeth have been giving me grief since Monday, and all week I have been in immense pain with my gums in the back. FInally went to the dentist, apparently its trauma added with stress that has caused this thing and will have to just wait till it gets better on its own. Am on Codein now for night time and Advil 400mgs during the day to manage the pain.
Good thing is Im really looking fwd to driving down to Toronto tonight with Deepak! Just what we need. Encouragement and support by meeting fellow Canadian families for Nauryz, who have gone through all of this and have been home for years now, happily raising their beautiful children from Kaz. Im going to go make the Plov now. In India we make the same thing, its called Pulav. :)
