Biometrics DONE

We had our appointment today at 2pm. Now we wait for the golden ticket. To celebrate, we went to a nearby Ethiopian restaurant to get our first taste of Ethiopian food. All I can say is nom, nom, nom! Loved it.

My heart aches.....

Today, innocent children were taken away from their parents, never to return.  I cannot fathom the thought of ever losing a child.  And I can't even begin to imagine what the parents in Connecticut are going through right now.  Today was a very sad day across the U.S., as we watched the senseless tragedy unfold.  My heart aches for the families that lost a loved one today, for the children who's lives will forever be changed as a result of this incident and for the community that has been shaken.  My prayers are with them.  Hug your children a little tighter tonight, tell them that you love them and remember not to sweat the small stuff.  You never know when we will have to say goodbye. 

Biometrics Appointment!

I am a little late in posting this, but we received our notification for our biometrics appointment on 12/8 and we are scheduled to be fingerprinted on 12/27!!! It seems that it happened so fast. Definitely much faster than we anticipated. What a wonderful early Christmas present!

USCIS Acceptance Confirmation

Wooohooo!!!  We received the following email today at 5:08 pm.  Great way to start the week.  :-)

Dear Applicant/Petitioner:

Your USCIS application/petition has been received and routed to the National Benefit Center for processing. Within 7 - 10 days by standard mail you will receive your official Receipt Notice (Form I-797) with your Receipt Number XXXXXXXXXXXX.

They just received our application on 11/28/12, so we weren't expecting to receive notification this quick.  Hopefully they will be quick with the fingerprinting appointment as well.
