Please Pray

We are trying to wait patiently, but...
We need our paperwork from Homeland Security...
It hasn't been all that long since we got our fingerprints done (May 3rd)...at least not by the estimated wait times... but...
We must, must, must be DTC by June 27th! Our Toby is a special focus child, and our agency doesn't think that China will give us an extension...we need that one paper, and we need a little time to get it "authenticated" ...
Our agency called Homeland Security last Monday and our case hadn't even been assigned an officer yet.
Please Pray with us... Our God is mightier than any government!!
Thank You!

Kim,
We are praying for that paperwork! I know it is agony to wait! We had to have an extension for our little guy, so maybe your agency could get the extension with the I-800A approval so close to completion. Either way we are praying for paperwork.

Praying we are in the same situation. Our date is June 22. Our agency said they usually understand that USCIS is slow. We are just wanting it done.

Kim, I will be praying for your approval to come through quickly. (also, just wanted to let you know that once you are assigned an officer, typically things happen pretty quickly after that.) Of course just getting the paper in the mail takes a little time. Funny that right now we're also praying for our I800 approval. Hoping that we're approved already and I just don't know it yet!

Keep us updated!

Praying! Miss you guys. Let us know if you want to make a trek to Tulsa! Tyler wanted Levi to meet us at Chuck E Cheese for his birthday!

Jill,
We had our fingerprints done on May 3. We are still within the estimated time for Homeland Security (at about 31 days now), but we lack only that approval and having it authenticated in order to be DTC. Our Agency said that CCAA won't give us an extension because Toby was a Special Focus Child...but, I have heard from a few people that they grant a grace period since we are so close) I just keep praying that that is the case, and I know that God has this under control.
