I-600

I am still trying to get caught up from December! On the 18th we got an email notifying us that we could submit our I-600, the petition to classify an orphan as an immediate relative, to our agency. We filled it out and had it notarized and sent it to our agency the next day. Of course, the minute we did we got an email telling us that there had been a change in the way the form was supposed to be filled out and we would have to do it over. Last Wednesday, the 26th, we went back to the agency to do the form correctly. After we had finished I casually may have mentioned that we had not received new pics of Norah in almost 6 weeks and lo and behold we got some today! That post will follow shortly. So anyway, our I-600 should be sent to Vietnam this week and then it will sit there until they determine we are 3-5 weeks from traveling to submit it to the USCIS. With Tet on Feb. 7th and the government offices shut down for 2-3 weeks we are really hoping it will be submitted in a week or 2 so that we might be able to travel the end of February or early March. Cross your fingers for us!!
