I wanted to let you all know that our efforts are beginning to pay off. Hoa and I had our marriage interview expedited to Tuesday of next week(October 20). I don’t get to see her in person, but having the interview expedited is good news as it is an important step for all of our later paperwork. By being moved up in the que, that means someone is working favorably for our case. Also, I received a phone call from our 5th district representative, Keith Ellison, telling me that they would “put their shoulder against the wheel.” and begin working to help Hoa and I by contacting DHS. These are good steps toward resolving this situation. If you have a moment, call your representatives and tell them you support Representative Ellison’s efforts and you would like them to assist him in anyway they can.
This ray of hope keeps Hoa and I going, and we send you our continued thanks for your efforts, love, support, prayers and encouragement.
Sincerely,
Dan Hanson
Wow! I am so glad to hear this – I do think it’s a positive sign!
Hang in there!

Good luck.

HOORAY! And to add to your good news, I heard back from Senator Franken’s office. They emailed me saying that the senator was well aware of your situation. Due to privacy issues, they couldn’t be more detailed, but it is good news!!!
I’m so glad things are progressing!! I will continue to pray for you both!!
We will continue to keep you in our prayers.
Good news! that’s the way it should be. You have our prayers Dan and Hoa!! Take care and god bless always!!!
Yay! The library folk here have been busy writing and faxing our reps and senators asking them to please, please help Ellison on our very important quest to free Hoa
We have our fingers crossed!!!
GREAT NEWS!!! Keep up to good work and always be positive. We wish you all the best. I know deep inside thing will turn out to be fine for you both. We will keep praying for Hoa’s release and for Hoa and Dan to be together in the US soon.
Love,
Hoa
Greetings!
We’re encouraged to hear that Representative Ellison contacted you directly and is working on your behalf. We’ve sent several letters and have our respective small groups at church praying for you. Hopefully Tuesday will be a turning point. I may have already shared this, but “Stay strong and trust”….those were Nick’s words to me in an e-mail when a young man in our high school ministry group almost died of sepsis. You’re both wonderful examples of perseverance and of hope. We continue to pray for strength and patience for both of you.

Yay!!! I think we’ll all be thinking about you guys on the 20th and hoping for some further good news from you soon!
Great News for my good friend Hoa! I hope to see her well and happy soon!!
Hi,
I don’t know Hoa personally but I am a Vietnamese just like Hoa, so it really gets my concern to keep updating about Hoa’s. I hope everything going alright for Hoa at this point. Hope Oct 20th (today) is a lucky day for you both!
We have been thinking of you guys. Any latest updates? Well, today is Wednesday…. Hopefully everything went well yesterday.
