The girls and I took all documents (our dossier) to the Secretary of State in Annapolis to get the State Seal. That was a fun trip.
The next day, Dale stayed home and watched all the kids so I could then take the dossier to the Dept of State and the Chinese Embassy to be Authenticated.
So here we are with our entire dossier certified and authenticated (since early October actually) AND we just KEEP WAITING and waiting and waiting. 73 days of waiting at this point for our USCIS clearance.
On day 70 we did hear from USCIS, yes, we did. But it was request for more information. A "pink slip" known as an RFE. You don't want to get an RFE. Really, you don't. It was 48hrs of scrambling and drama only to find out that our homestudy did indeed contain the information that they were requesting and we didn't need to do anything. Unfortunately that has added at minimum 6 more days of wait for our approval. They mailed the 'unnecessary" RFE on Nov 2, we received it on Nov 7. 5 days wasted. And now here we are on Nov 9th still without our approval email. Any day now. Any day now!
