Albino’s US Citizenship

We have submitted Albino’s application for naturalization to become a US citizen.  We just received notice that it has been “received by our office and is in process.”  The next step is for him to get his fingerprints taken.  Then, we’ll await an interview date which includes the civics and English proficiency test.  They say the process can take 6-9 months.  Please pray for favor with the immigration officers who will review Albino’s case.  So far we have avoided costly lawyer fees, and all has gone smoothly from applying to a fiancé visa to his green card.  We pray that it will continue.
Once Albino naturalizes he has 45 days to leave the country and go to Peru.  (Confusing?  We know. It has to do with my status as a missionary and the reason we can apply early.)  Ideally we will have 100% of our support pledged, and we will all move to Peru together.  If not, we will visit Peru to comply with the law and come back to finish fundraising.
