Our appointment with USCIS is next Tuesday!
For those of you not well-versed in adopto-lingo, the fingerprinting appointment is a required part of the I600 Petition or the “Petition to Classify an Orphan as an Immediate Relative.” It is the first step in the USCIS (United States Citizen & Immigration Services) process for an international adoption.
Once the local USCIS office receives the I600 (and home study) they will then schedule fingerprinting appointments for all adults over the age of 18 living in the home. After receiving the fingerprint reports that say that we are well behaved citizens, we will receive the I171h, or the golden ticket of approvals that will allow us to adopt.
Now lets cross our fingers that the post-fingerprinting process goes quickly (it can take months) and that our golden ticket will be soon to come!
