This Means US!!

Dear International Team,
Good news! Our Country Director in Ethiopia met with Vice Consular Chief today and was informed that all Bethany cases that were on hold at the Embassy will be cleared. This includes the four cases that were under investigation. The Vice Consular Chief informed Bethany that he will direct his workers to start clearing cases that were on hold.
The Embassy may still require further information/clarification in some cases. We were told that the request for information will be only on technical or procedural issues regarding those cases. For instance, the Embassy has been asking us to provide the names of other relatives in the child's family of origin. Other times they have asked further information on the child's background.
However, the Vice Consular Chief informed us that such requests for further information/clarification will not be consequential to the decision to clear all cases that are on hold. The Embassy would not inform us regarding the order in which they will clear cases. We continue to pray for our families as they patiently wait for the union with their children. Thanks for the team work.
Sincerely,
Ethiopia team
