We have Emily's exit visa! Another 5-6 hours of waiting today at the Hyderabad FRRO and it is officially in hand. So now we can come home! The only thing preventing it is finding seats on airplanes.
It is a big relief to have all the paperwork done. Apparently we got it finished in record time - only three days from start to finish. We were very fortunate there were no intervening holidays and weekends and that an investigation wasn't ordered.
So right now the plan is to leave on Tuesday, November 30. Emily's exit visa is good from yesterday, when it was issued, until 12/14, the day we originally planned to fly home. Apparently that's how the duration works - the exit visa says "on or before" the date you have a ticket to fly home on. We were afraid it would ONLY be good for the date we planned to fly home on; but that's not the case.
woo hoo!!!! you are on your way!!!! look out world, Emily is coming HOME!!!!!!!!! (see if your clinic will write a note for your airline to say it is medically necessary for you all to travel - we were able to be refunded all our change fees w continental this way!)
