Aaaarrrggghhhh, immigration again.

I'm absolutely kicking myself, for a few things: a) Not checking into Nick's immigration stuff before we went travelling, and b) Letting his bloody permanent resident status lapse in the first place! How easy it would have been to remove the conditions on his conditional green card before it expired in 2005 - then he would have gotten a 10 year visa! But we didn't, and now it looks like we're going to have to go through the whole boring, pedantic, expensive process again. FFS. I wish we would have just had a bit of foresight. I mean, in 2005 we had no idea that we would be moving back to America ever. But you know, it makes sense to take care of things just in case. We have some enquiries in via email, and we'll make some phone calls tomorrow. Sigh.

At least there is some relatively good news regarding the motorhome: Nick has arranged for the place we bought it from to organise 3 months of NSW registration. So there's that off the list of things to do. We should have it back from the shop next week sometime, and then we can actively sell the mofo.

I'm busy filling out forms for Maya and Eli to become Americans. We plan to lodge the forms next Tuesday and then we'll just wait on their passports to be sent. At least they're automatically eligible so we don't have to apply for anything.

Back to paperwork...
