If you were interested in our passport story before, then maybe you will be interested to know it has reached its conclusion. We have our passports!
Apparently the postman who delivers the mail to the house we formerly lived in knew the Korean man living there now was not us. So instead of giving them to the current resident, he sent them back to the passport service center.
Two weeks ago we called the service center, and they told us they had them! We gave them our current address and one week later they arrived in the mail. It was incredible. I am not sure why they accepted our address change now, and not a month ago, but at this point it does not matter to me. What matters is that we have our passports with a thick stack of new pages sewn into it. Thank you Jesus. You are the only one who could make this convoluted story have a wonderful ending.
Now we are waiting on DB's social security number. Because it is one of the few government services we do not have to pay (directly) for, it is the one service we cannot pay to expedite. We can expedite our passports and visas, but we are at the mercy of the Social Security Administration to get us DB's social security number as soon as possible. They told us it would take 2-6 weeks. We are hoping it falls on the shorter timeframe rather than the 6 weeks because that is when we are hoping to leave.
