New Central Authority in Guatemala Up and Running?

The new Central Authority in Guatemala has an office now and all members have been sworn in. This is great news since all "in process" cases have to register with this agency BEFORE our cases can move forward in Guatemalan court. So, regardless of where my case was in the review process, my attorney in Guatemala must now register my case with this Central Authority. All indications are that the registration process should be announced and may begin this coming week. I am hopeful that my case will be registered without issue prior to the 1/31/08 deadline. There is some speculation that the deadline will be fluid due to the delay in getting the new Central Authority created, but hopefully, I will know more this week. My agency should be updating me as soon as they know.
