We FINALLY Have 171 Approval!
The local USCIS officer called me last night (after I left an urgent message friday) letting me know he completed our I-171H and we could pick it up today. So it is official...We have it in Hand! It was submitted 6/21/07. For those not in the adoption world, that means we can proceed as far as the US is concerned. Next step is finalization on the Liberia side which should take 2-4 weeks if expidited, Liberian passport should be within that week and then pre-visa interview can be scheduled within a week or two. At that time they will give us the ok to make travel arrangements for 2 weeks out. So, Hopefully by Thanksgiving, the latest Christmas! Poor Mercy, with no meat on her bones she's going to be cold!
