I-171h Approved

Well, it will be two weeks tomorrow that we had our fingerprints taken, so I emailed our local USCIS office. An email came back saying we are approved and that we should receive our approval paperwork within the next two weeks. TWO WEEKS!! That seems like an eternity!:0 We have everything else done. Most of it is translated.

There are rumors about the government of Ukraine imposing a moratorium on adoptions soon. Then, some people with definite appointments to submit have had those dates moved to several months later. It's stress enough trying to do the paperwork to meet all these crazy changes that the State Department of Adoption is imposing without the added stress of waiting!

Sorry to hear it's going to take them 2 weeks :( I remember reading about a family that called their district representative and they expedited the process. Might be worth a shot especially if those rumors are true.

Ask them to send you a .pdf of the approval document. That's all you'll need to send to your facilitator. We had to do that when we only had one day and couldn't wait for snail mail.
