Plane tickets are settled and what not, I'm just hoping I can still go on September 1. As of now, my flight consists of Philly to Boston, Boston to Dublin, Dublin to Manchester. Then I'll get a train from Manchester Airport to Middlesbrough station. Hopefully I won't have any delays, or I'll miss flights...
I finally got my sponsorship certification, so I was able to apply for a visa. Unfortunately, I have to wait until next Thursday, then go up to North Philly and get my "biometrics captured". Aka they take a picture and fingerprints. After I get my biometrics done, I have to THEN send in a copy of them, a print out of my online application, and my sponsorship proof to the New York Embassy. Meaning lots of red tape. Gah.
Please be in prayer that the whole process goes quickly, so that I can still fly out on my plane ticket and not need to wait for visa stuff to go through. That will probably require a miracle, so pray hard!
