Illinois Approval
After a 9+ week wait, Illinois and DCFS approved our homestudy. That means today our approved homestudy will be sent to USCIS (US Immigration) to join the other paperwork that was sent to them on Feb 1st. They are estimating a 30 day wait from USCIS to send our I71H to us, but since we have already been fingerprinted we are hoping its shorter. As soon as we get that we will send our Dossier to Ethiopia and get on the waiting list. We are so excited!! After 2 months of almost nothing happening, we finally feel like its moving forward a little bit more!!

ReplyDeleteseems like we are at the same stage of the game. Our homestudy went to SC USCIS on May 6th and I am now rushing home everyday at lunch to check the mail. Here's hoping our names appear on that big waiting chart soon!!
