Waiting For Our Updated Paperwork

I feel so relieved! We got our notarized medicals on Wednesday and I was able to get them county certified (which I had to drive to some county way out in the country) and then I went to downtown Columbus to get those and our addendum state certified. It was like a big weight lifted off my shoulders when I was able to overnight them to the Vietnam Embassy on Thursday. I got confirmation through the tracking number that they received it so hopefully in the next couple of weeks we should get the authenticated documents back.

I also was able to get an email response from the Ohio USCIS that they got our file from Louisville and are working on our new I-171H! After the scare we had the other day with them telling us our fingerprints were expired and we had to have new ones this is a huge relief to have this straightened out. I'm just not sure if we will have to have our new I-1717H authenticated once we get it.

For now, we are just waiting to get a confirmation email from Hanoi that they have filed our I-600. Hopefully we will get that soon because I'm not sure if our 60 countdown will start until then...of course that's an approximate but at least it's something:) Right now I'm just trying to get things ready and we finally got Alexa's crib put together. Now I just have to make her baby bedding so I have plenty to keep me busy.

We Finally Got Our Addendum!

YAY! I am so excited...after a week or so of completely stressing out over it we finally got our addendum to our homestudy in the mail:) The best part is, the agency already had it county-certified for us so I don't have to drive two and a half hours to go do that. We went on Wednesday to get our new medicals after finding a new doctor and we have to go back tomorrow to have a TB test done. Once we get the results from that on Wednesday we will get our notarized medical forms and I will be able to take those and the addendum to the Secretary of State and have them state certified and send them off to the Vietnam Embassy to be authenticated. We already put our request in to the USCIS office here in Columbus for our new I-171H and our agency sent them our addendum so hopefully we will be getting that soon. It feels good to be making some progress again. I'm just looking forward to getting the email that our I-600 was logged in and filed and then the clock begins:)
