I600A mailed

The I600A is an application for advance processing of orphan petition. It is mailed to USCIS (U. S. Citizenship and Immigration Services). In approximately 2 weeks, we should receive approval & a date to be fingerprinted. The fingerprinting will take place in Atlanta & we will be given a specific appt time to go. The home study is also sent to USCIS & will follow the I600A shortly. We are very close to being finished with the home study. Upon completion of the fingerprinting & I600A approval, we should begin to receive referrals. Assuming no stumbling blocks, our social worker seems to think this will be in Sept. 2009. Hopefully in about 2 weeks I will have the appt for the fingerprinting & we'll be that much closer. Please keep our family in your prayers as we continue this process!
