Adoption News

Our I-171H arrived in the mail on Saturday!!!! How cool is that? We were expecting a very long wait, as a few months ago Michigan was taking many many months to process I600A applications. Our timeline?
application received: December 1, 2006
Fingerprinting "adventure": December 27th, 2006
Application Completed: January 12, 2007
Approval Mailed: January 17th

Not Bad, huh?

R is faxing it to our agency right now, so as soon as they receive it we will move from the "waiting to wait" list to the "waiting for referral" list.

Oh, and USCIS approved us for 2 children. We are hopeful that twins will be referred to us, but are realistic enough to not expect it. Still, a gal can dream, can't she?
