Things To Do While Waiting

We all know that there are various waiting periods during this process. Unfortunately some of us, me, get to repeat some of the waiting periods. So what do you do while waiting; fix the house, gardening, reading parenting books, these all sound like good ideas to me. I‘m redoing my dossier and updating my homestudy. I was notified Wednesday that most of my documents are going to expire in early June and since I don’t know when I will be going back to court again, I need to redo them and I need to redo them as quickly as possible. I’m kind of stuck, I don’t know when my court date is, will my documents expire before or after my court date, will my documents be OK if they are submitted to the court before they expire even if the court date is after they expire, what if I get a court date and they are not updated, will that delay court yet again? So I’m incurring the additional expense, redoing a lot of my documents and trying to get this done as quickly as possible so if I do get a court date, I will be able to back again. This should keep me busy for at least some of this repeat wait. Take care, Chris

My HomeStudy is Complete!!!

On Friday May 11th. I received word that my home study was completed. CHI is sending me a notorized copy so I can send it to CIS to be processed with my I-600A which CIS has had since April 30th. The I-600A will eventually turn into the paper that will allow me to bring an orphan into the United States. This is the last document I am waiting for and I don't expect to see it before the end of June. I have a call scheduled with CHI for Thursday, at this point I will complete more documents and get everything notarized and apostilled and continue to wait for CIS.
