Honestly NOTHING has been happening so I haven't updated in awhile but today is a GOOD day!!
I know the 1800 process is a PAIN. For Ashley, we fell under the 1600 and it was so much easier. However, with that, you didn't get to speak to a real person if you had issues, and there was virtually no communication on your case and its progress. Well today I am thankful for the 1800 hot line....
We STILL HAVE NOT EVEN GOTTEN OUR FINGERPRINT APPOINTMENT. They cashed my check weeks ago. So I finally called and spoke to our officer. She was AMAZING and told me that she had already reviewed our HS and it was perfect :) She said our notices for fingerprints got skipped by mistake and they were re-issued last Friday. So she's faxing us a copy because we are headed to FL this weekend for a wedding and were wanting to walk in to get printed. I told her that and she said to call her Monday and confirm we got printed and she'd put our approval in the mail THAT DAY!!! That means we'll be DONE and our dossier can finally GO TO CHINA!
Sorry about your print situation. Luckly after you are printed it will be just a few days and they will send your approval. We were just printed today and our offcier said he should send out thursday or friday if the prints are cool. So we will still be neck and neck:)
ReplyDeleteThere are definitely plenty of frustrations along the way, but I'm glad this is working out so well for you! We were fingerprinted on Friday and we're ready to be DTC as well!
ReplyDeleteThat's great news!!

yeah!!! I agree this process isn't as easy as the I600 but it is sooooo nice to talk to a real person. :) So glad to hear your progress!
ReplyDeleteHeather what about y'all....I would LOVE to travel with you this time!!!! (and tonya, and lara, and tara...let's just get our own little travel group together!!!) They won't mind, right??!!
ReplyDeleteYes the more people we get the more fun and cheaper right? I think I'm the only one travelling with the children so I'll need some sitters. Just kidding they are 3 and 17
ReplyDeleteokay M from awaa is telling me that she will file our extention and we should be dtc end of july to early august. WHAT! I mean if we get the 800a thing in the mail next week and we just have to have the homestudy and i800a cert and auth why would it take a month. I was not prepaired for that time line. I mean that looks more like January or february travel (again) grrr. I was so thinking November or December. Thats what I get for thinken
