you may remember our stories about our peace corps recruiter being kind of flaky and always just repeating the same story to us.

Hi Chris and Waldie:
Thanks for your patience. It is a longer and tougher process for
couples.
I'll let you know when I hear anything.
Thanks,

This sooooo reminds me of a certain friend's green card application process...one would think that this fine lady would be looking to find out what concerns are being raised, what else is needed, where you are in the pile, etc. Looks like she's just passively waiting for a call--the clear mark of someone who's been in government too long.
