Another check on the checklist, another task marked off!!
We submitted our I-600A less than 3 weeks ago. We were told to expect up to a 2 month wait for our biometrics (fingerprint) appointment. I prayed and prayed we would receive our appointment date by the end of this week. I came home Monday to 4 letters from USCIS with our appointment date set for noon on December 12. It was such a direct answer to prayer, exceeding our request for an already speedy process!
Silly government people who assign random times during normal working hours. We both couldn't do it but we've heard from numerous other families that they will often take walk ins. So today, I left school early and we rushed over to the office...we got a little lost on the way, stupid iphone lead us to the completely wrong place!
When we arrived we were told we had to speak with the immigration officer to see if he would allow us to walk in. Thankfully we saw the nicest immigration officer there is and he did everything he could to get us processed! In the meantime he asked us about what we do, where we're adopting from. He was excited that we will have the "United Nations" in our family!
We waited about an hour and a half but ultimately got it done!
So now we wait and pray we can receive our official I-600A approval before Christmas, can you think of a better Christmas present than that??
