Paulina’s mother went to the embassy in Windhoek this morning … AND …
…was turned away, because she didn’t have an appointment letter. Funny thing is, I had asked the embassy ahead of time if she would need an appointment or confirmation letter and they’d said no, she could just show up. Huh.
To make matters worse, due to the time difference I didn’t receive this news until an hour AFTER she had already left the embassy.
Frantically, I called the embassy, called McKensey (our contact in the village), called the embassy again — eventually we got it sorted out so that she could go back and they’d be expecting her. Granted, they were already supposedly “expecting” her; but now they’d be even more expecting her.
Long story short: she went back, with Paulina’s father, and after interviewing them the embassy decided to grant the visas.
Let me just repeat that, for my own benefit. The girls have been granted visas.
