Visas were approved!

Prior to arriving in country, we obtained permission to stay for a year as students.  At the end of the year, which is unbelievably only a month away (April 18th) we have to leave the country or have already obtained new visas.  We started the paperwork in January.  It mostly consists of forms to fill out, passport type photos to obtain, and a lot of waiting.  We just heard our visas, for another whole year as students, were approved!  Thank you for lifting us up!  Apparently we still have a few more steps until we have them in hand and are 100% legitimate; these consist of handing over all our passports and current visas to a gentleman who takes them to the immigration office with additional paperwork from the University, and later sets up a time for us to visit immigration as well.  Basically he does all the leg work for us!  As our new visas will be the same type and were approved prior to the expiration of our current visas, we do not have to leave the country to obtain them, as long as we still get them in hand prior to the end of our 'year'.  Thank you again for lifting us up!
