fingerprints

We got the notice letting us know that we have an appointment @ 8:00 am Friday February 29th to get fingerprinted! Once we're done with that, I guess we're back to waiting.

one step closer

We received notification in the mail yesterday that our application is getting closer. We will be getting a notice in the mail shortly for the fingerprinting appointment. The current process for the I-600A form is 3 months! This form is used when there is not a specific child in mind, it is sort of "advance processing".


I need to take these small steps as little victories and remember that we are headed in the right direction.

it made it

We got confirmation that the I-600A package made it to USCIS Monday February 11th! Now we get to wait for a letter telling us when our appointment to get fingerprinted is going to be. More waiting....

on the way

The I-600A packet is on it's way to USCIS. I don't know how long it takes to get there, and once it's there who knows how long it will sit before it is processed. Hopefully it won't take too long. Once it's processed we will get notified of our appointment to get fingerprinted, that should take about 2 - 3 weeks.

stressed out

Okay I'm ready for a breakdown and we're just getting started. I just got off the phone with our agency about mailing in the I-600A for to USCIS (United States Citizen & Immigration Services) and I want to break down and cry. I was checking on what was to be mailed in along with the form and wanted to make sure the fees were correct etc.

It's not a big deal to do all of this, I just don't know how I'm going to get through everything! Maybe it's just the fact that we are really going through with this. Maybe because one little thing that should be so easy wasn't and I've already gotten something wrong. If we get one little thing wrong on the form or don't mail the correct stuff in we have to do it over, and that's just another setback.

That's just what we need, another setback! I know we'll get through it all but that light at the end of the tunnel is looking further away than it is.
