We just found out that Jaan's residency application was rejected because of a mistake. None of us caught it, and neither did the Migration lady when she painstakingly accepted our applications. You may remember that the beginning of the process is an official letter from our inviting organization, which is the church here, to the Kherson administration, asking for their approval. The mistake was in that letter, so fixing it has to go all the way back to the beginning. We had several days of up and down here, with the mistake being found, then a possible easy solution, then a final no about that easy way today. So, Will's restarting everything for Jaan. Once it's all ready again, Jaan will go apply again.
