Same stuff in Accra. They want me to get a "schedule from the DNA lab" for them--it's nuts. The kit arrived there Aug. 29. Once again Watson could only talk to a clerk though he asked to please talk to a CO. They added the new twist that they have no medicals from last fall. He had all the receipts for the medicals and the FedEx confirmation on the DNA kit, but he was just waved away. Next appt is July 18-"awaiting schedule..."

Contacting Senator Talent again and will try the DNA kit company again.

I'm sorry. I read your timeline and see that you have been on this journey a long time. I don't know what to say or advise. However, I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

I agree I have been on VJ long time and it is had been a long and hard for you as well.

Im sorry these are people are just playing around with your lives. I hope that this craziness ends. Please take care. Wishing you success in the future and soon.

July 18? Are you serious?

Hope the Senator is going to be helpful. That's the most ridiculous thing I've seen in awhile.

Good Luck!

Honestly? I'm not sure if I could handle all that you've gone through. I have no idea what I would do in your shoes, Peggy. I would probably go marry Peter, and then move to the UK to try and live happily ever after. But then again, I'm pretty young and have no roots/children/family that need me here in the U.S.

Your posts recently lack any emotional attachment to the situation as compared to your earlier posts. I know this is affecting you in ways no one else could probably imagine. Just want you to know we love you, and we support you in your process and whatever decisions you make.

Dana (and Peter, too)

I am so sorry for how things are going.

DNA lab???

I am sorry to hear this, keep you head up and your hand in God's hand.

Oh so sorry to hear this. Those people must be mad. Wow July 18 is so far away. That really sucks. On a lighter note....July 18 is a great day though (my birthday), I will send all my birthday wishes your way on that day.

Hmmm...I've keep looking and looking at the thread and wondering what to say. I wonder what Senator Talent's office is going to say in reply to this latest development. Are you going to wait it out until July 18th or are you planning a visit to Ghana between now and then? I just wonder if there is anything to be done at this point. If you marry Watson, it would mean that you'd have to start this process all over---dealing with the same embassy, the same guards, the same secretary (i know exactly who you are talking about, she is beyond description for draconian behavior) and the same DNA issues. I'm really out of ideas and I don't know what to say cuz its been two years. I don't even know if this post is even pissing you off right now Peggy cuz Im sure that everything I've typed you've already thought and felt....With that being said, I do hope that this all resolves itself this year and that you sweetie and watson can all be together...I know I havent been going at it as long as you, but I definitely can relate to all your feelings of resignation-frustration-anger....I just hope that they can be assuaged somehow. You are in my thoughts

So way beyond ridiculous!! I don't know what to say - except I am so sorry and your strength amazes me.

I too am very sorry to hear the outcome of this appt for you and Watson. When I saw the post, I was hoping for some glimmer of progress on your journey. My heart goes out to you both.
