I was speeding home from work as usual on a rainy and cold Monday afternoon to pick up Julia and get her ready for her karate class tonight. The last thing on my mind was the possibility that the USCIS provisional approval for our I-800 might actually be waiting for me in our mailbox. But, there tucked in the middle of the junk mail and bills was the letter for which we have anxiously been waiting over the last three or so weeks. Funny, it seems longer. I had barely opened the envelope when Rob arrived home, and I could not contain my excitement as I showed it to him. It was finally here!
Earlier in the day, I had driven to our adoption agency on my lunch break to give them the notarized and apostilled copies of our new medicals and our latest local criminal background checks. I also included a few things for Aleksandar to be sent on to Bulgaria as Vesta has promised to get them to him. All in all, it was a good day on our adoption journey. I realize that another long period of waiting on a court date is now ahead of us, but for the moment, I am enjoying the progress that we made today.
Its a really great Blog. Phang Legal offers the services of a notary public to assist with documents from countries all over the world.

I remember getting that letter in the mail. It was so exciting!!! You are almost there. Praising God for His goodness and faithfulness!!!
ReplyDeleteHAPPYYYY DANNNNNCEEE, I'm sure Rob has the perfect song for it too ;) Maybe our court date being set is taking a while so you can go with us!!! Thinking happy thoughts and sending up an abundance of prayers!!! <3
ReplyDeletecongrats, you are almost there! So exciting.
ReplyDeleteAngela, how long did it take to get i800 approval was it 4-5 weeks? Waiting on ours. Thanks
ReplyDeleteCeleste, it was actually three to four weeks. I hope that you get yours soon!
ReplyDeletethanks got your message! so have you mailed everthing to Tol to Bulgaria? The next step is getting a court date right?
ReplyDeleteThinking of you today!!!We got our apostilles for our FBI clearances... any news on your court date? We are still waiting!
ReplyDeleteCeleste, the next step is issuance of the Article 5 letter and then the court date. At least that is my inexperienced understanding. Have you heard anything from USCIS yet? CeAnne, I have been thinking about you too. We have no news and, the waiting is getting hard.
ReplyDeleteAngela, we just got the notice today in the mail saying they received our I800, hoping we get our approval in a couple of weeks :) Keep us posted about a court date. It is getting so close, this wait is so hard....
