Uncertain Times

Our one month visitors permit that was issued when we arrived back from Fiji has expired--19 days ago! We applied for a two month extension of our permit as instructed. Initially, Immigration wanted more information, which we were able to supply via email. We heard back that these items were received and our application was "in process." We have had friends on Tarawa trying to help us with this. On February 28th we received an email from the office manager of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs apologetic for the delay in receiving word if our application was approved or denied. We were advised that when their decision was made, we would be notified. Well....this may be a case of "not deciding is to decide!" It is just hard to know how to plan, not knowing.
