We heard today that our case has been scheduled for May 18th in Ethiopia. Approximately 65% of cases pass on the first court date - the rest are rescheduled due to missing paperwork, no electricity, over-scheduling and a myriad of other reasons. We have been warned that there are an inordinate number of cases to be heard that day, so it is highly likely that we'll need another court date.
We received our 171H in the mail yesterday - this is the official document which states that Homeland Security has given us the go ahead to bring one orphan, age 0-4, into the US and make them an American citizen. Strangely, the official notice was far less official looking and far less fancy than the receipt or the fingerprinting appointment letter.
And so we wait.

Emma,
ReplyDeleteI thought the SAME thing about the 171H! I got these fancy schmancy, watermark, 100lb paper, embossed, sealed, hologram paper for an APPOINTMENT and somehow the official notice of our approval comes looking like junk mail?? Weird.
Congrats on the court date too! So happy we get to go on the same day!
