Finally

The reference letters are all in. The homestudy is being finalized, as so far, no indications of a problem. Tom's email had to be resent to my work email. I had called yesterday to see if he had gotten my email for him to reply to on Sunday, and he said yes and that he had replied immediately to it with the information he needed. I don't know why I never got it, but, I gave him my work email and he resent it with no problem.

He just wanted some basic descriptions of the kids, and I have already sent that to him, as well as, copies of our police clearances, which will be faxed on Thursday. So, that's it. Now, after Thursday, we just wait for him to write it and send up the copies. As long as it all goes well, we can then submit our paperwork to USCIS just as soon as we have that homestudy in hand.

That means we wait again. Once they get our paperwork, they send us a fingerprinting appointment for us to go up to Salt Lake, to the local USCIS fingerprinting office, and have them done there. Then we wait again for the approval from them and we are done. Again, as long as it all goes well, we could be done with all the waiting on paperwork in a few months, tops. Maybe less than two, who knows. The process is speeding up, so, we'll have to wait and see.

Im just relieved he wasn't telling us that we weren't going to be approved. At least not yet.
