I600A Approved

We found out yesterday that our I600A was approved on Monday by USCIS.  Woohoo!!  The I600A approves Nate and I to adopt, but we are now waiting on the I600.  That will approve James to be able to immigrate to the US and be adopted here.  We are sooooo close!!!!!!

The I600 could be approved today or in two weeks or in two months.  I have no idea!!!!  But we are thankful that things are moving forward!

Just Waiting

We are in that waiting stage again.  There is absolutely nothing for me to do, but sit back and wait for others to do stuff!

We received notification that USCIS received our I600A (which is our application to be approved to bring an orphan to the US.) It is not approved yet, but they have received it and have begun processing it.  Now that we have that notification, I was able to contact Klobuchar's office so they can begin to attempt to expedite the procedure.

I also received word from Klobuchar's office that we can submit our I600 now as well.  The I600 is the application for James to be allowed to be adopted into the United States.  Originally, I was thinking that we needed to have our I600A approved before we submitted our I600, but a representative from Klobuchar's office checked into that for us and was told that we can submit the I600 now before our I600A is apporved.

So I sent off our I600 along with all the supporting documentation to the USCIS office today and hoped that I had filled it out and understood it all correctly!!

I haven't heard much on the Liberian side of things since they received our home study, so I also sent off an email to them as well to get an update on the process.

Now all we can do is sit and pray and wait and pray!!!!  Hopefully Nate will be packing soon for another trip!!
