I have just heard from our attorney and we now have a court date!
Unfortunately, the date has been set as June 16th, 8 days before we depart Uganda. So, in order for us to still be able to depart Uganda on the 24th we need the following items to happen:
1. The judge must show up on the 16th and have the time to hear our case
2. There must not be any problem with our file or any reason for the judge to require additional information
3. The judge must decide favorably and issue a written ruling within 1-2 days
4. The US Embassy would be able to review and approve our visa application in 1-2 days (they have initially told us that it could take up to 2 weeks).
5. We don't go crazy during this process
The only item that we have any control over is #5 (and even that is questionable). Each of the other items would be a miracle in itself, the chances of all 4 happening would truly be God ordained. We purposely met with our attorney in January and submitted our documents in the middle of March and delayed our departure until later in June so that we could avoid this last minute craziness. So much for our best laid plans! Please pray for the above items and pray for wisdom on our part. We will be praying and thinking about our back up options.
Thanks again for all your prayers for us and for Stephen and Semei. They have not returned to the office, but when they do I will present them with all the encouraging notes and prayers that you have sent us.
