On October 24th I was officially registered with India. Before I started my homestudy the wait for approval was around two weeks. In the summer there was a huge slow down because of staffing changes. Now the wait is insanely long. I've been seeing people wait five and six MONTHS for approval. I feel that this is totally unacceptable but I can't change it. There are also SO MANY holidays in India. Every other week it seems like they are closed for one holiday or another. This is slowing things down even more. Now I feel that because they are so behind they are so stressed out and aren't even trying to catch up. I feel that they are deflated and therefore are just dragging along. They said they would be back to normal timelines by mid-November but there are so many people still waiting. I keep checking the Facebook group hoping to see a huge amount of people say they got approval but it hasn't happened yet. Right now I'm just hoping that it's not going to take me six months. Given how slow things are going I'm starting to lose hope that I will be a mom in 2019. The only "good" thing with the slow down is that I will have all my agency fees paid by the end of March and my travel saved by the end of July. If I haven't traveled, and it's not happening soon, by July I'm going to go home for the month. It won't cost me that much and by then I'll have enough funds that it wouldn't matter anyway. If I'm still waiting in the fall I'll start saving for maternity leave and maybe even a vacation. So tired of waiting....
