Filing Our I-600!

I was totally surprised yesterday when I checked my email and had one from our agency saying that we were ready to file our I-600! It happened a little sooner than we expected which is always great:) It was so exciting to get the I-600 from our agency with our baby's information filled out. We got it sent off last night and our agency received it this morning. I think this is our last leg and from here on out it is in the hands of the US gov't. I think the next step (besides all the moving updates) is waiting for the call!

Of course, everything can't go smoothly and quickly. Unfortunately we are still waiting for our homestudy addendum and after calling the homestudy agency for about a week I had a little freak-out session. It is so frustrating when they won't even call you back. Well, we finally talked to her this morning and apparently the social worker that had done our visit hadn't sent her the addendum yet and she was hoping to have it today but of course it didn't arrive. The social worker told her that if she didn't have it in the mail tomorrow she would overnight it so hopefully we should have our copy by Tues or Wed...we'll see. We also found out we are going to have to get a new I-171H...boy, does it ever stop? I feel like we are starting all over again sometimes but I know that God is in control and it is all going to get done somehow. Our homestudy agency is supposed to send our addendum to the Ohio USCIS office and I emailed both they KY and OH USCIS office to have our file transferred. I'm just nervous about how long it will take to get it and if it is going to hold us up.

Once we do finally get our addendum we have to have it county and state certified along with our new medicals and then send them all off to California to be authenticated. I had such a hard time too trying to make doctors appointments for us. I called several doctor's offices and most of them were scheduling 2 or 3 months out! Well, obviously that wasn't going to work for us. I finally found an office that could get us in sooner but they wouldn't do physicals on the first appointment and they didn't have a notary which we need. Well, FINALLY I found a doctor that is going to see us on Tuesday and they have a notary and they are going to do our vaccines for our travel. It's all starting to come together but I just really have to lean on God so I don't go into panic mode again. I still just don't see how we are going to be able to get all the stuff done without it holding us up be we are trusting Him. God's timing is perfect and we are going to go get Alexa when He thinks the time is perfect. Well, hopefully my next post will be about us receiving our addendum...oh, and any prayers would be greatly appreciated:)
