I have a prayer request here for my girlfriend.
She is a U of Arizona student who just finished her sophomore year and went back to China for vacation. One of the things she needed to do in order to allow her to re-enter US to continue her study was to go through visa interview in Consulate General of United States (FYI, Chinese international students only have a 1 year visa, so they have to renew their visa if they go home after 1 year). The interview officer has requested a follow-up document from the International Student Office, which has resulted in a 2-week delay due to Christmas and New Year vacations. After the document was received, the Consulate notified her that she has to wait at least 3 weeks for any news (which really means 4 weeks because Chinese New Year gives the officers another week of vacation). Furthermore, the Consulate forbade any follow-up within that 3 weeks.
With all that said, this means the earliest date she can come back to Tucson is in mid Feb. Classes will start in mid January. A one month delay in classes might pose lots of difficulties in catching up with her studies. By not taking classes in Spring 2009 but wait until Summer 2009 to come back isn't an option because a discontinuity in period of study is ILLEGAL (based on visa rule).
Please pray for:
1. God will supernaturally arrange everything according to His mighty will and for His glory.
2. God will guard my girlfriend spiritually to prevent any further demonic influence on her life (She is in torment going through all these hardships).
3. God will reveal His wisdom to my girlfriend on how to walk closely with Him.
Thanks for praying.
