Beginning our Dossier

Hi Everyone:

It's been a busy week so far doing more paperwork and jumping through hoops.

On Friday we received our Dossier requirements for Bulgaria. We need to have all sorts of documents Apostilled by sending to the Secretary of State. The Dossier is basically certified/aspostilled documents of everything we have pulled together so far.

Jim and I went in for fingerprinting on Saturday to the Law Enforcement Center. All the staff was so nice and had many questions as far as how this process works. What should have taken ten minutes lasted nearly an hour! They made us promise that as soon as we have our little guy home to take him there so they can meet him.

We received our I-797C (Notice of Action) from Homeland Security/Immigration Services on Saturday also. This is good news since it means they are actually reviewing our I-600A at this time. We will need to go to Fargo, ND to USCIS so thay can caputre our biometrics (whatever that means). Our appt. is scheduled for February 13th.

The licensed social worker will be to our house this Thursday to begin our home study. I think we're about as prepared as we're going to get for that. We are just thrilled everything is running as smoothly as it is.

Weather outside is beautiful today! In the 20's which seems like a heat wave compared to what we've had the previous weeks.

We'll post again soon!
