USCIS Update. Happy Friday!!

I had this feeling all day that I needed to call and check the status of our application. I ignored that feeling for most of the day, out of fear of being disappointed. 10 minutes ago, I decided to call. To my surprise someone answered right away. She then told me that my case had been assigned to an officer and that she would transfer me to her. Considering that I was once a government employee, my first thought was that I was going to be transferred to someone's voicemail. Surprise again! She answered! She then told me that she reviewed our file this week and that it has been approved and we should receive the letter within the next 7-10 business days! Woohoo!! Can you say Happy Friday!!! This just made our weekend! Hope you all have a great weekend! XOXO

Still waiting.....

I must admit that the hardest part of this process so far has been waiting.  I called and checked the status of our application today and it STILL has not been assigned to an officer.  Hopefully it will get assigned soon....until then, we shall wait.  XOXO

And we wait.....

Today I called USCIS to check the status of our application and as of today it has not been assigned to an officer.....BUMMER.  So we wait.  I am not sure how long it will take.  I have read on other adoption blogs where it only took 7-10 days.  Although it has only been 8 business days (not including the New Year holiday), it seems like it has been months.  I am hoping that by the end of next week we will receive some good news in the mail, in the form of a golden ticket.  :-)

Until then.....we will wait. 

XOXO
