Our homestudy is soon to be completed along with our final visit and necessary inspections and more forms. After that is approved and sent into our other agency we are then Well, not sure. I'm tired. Hopeful, but really, really tired.
The next leg of race is the immigration part. I don't understand all of these forms, and fees trying really hard to keep up way too fast pace. From what I've heard from others this part is more like a sharp incline on a muddy track. Trying to be positive, while remembering to relax my shoulders, breathe deeply and focus on making it through the next few miles.
The USCIS process is still a mystery to me and this site explains it very well. This is a great site!

So, we are currently looking at @ 3 weeks out from our I800a being received. Then we await approvals which are rumored to take about 60 days from notice of receipt at lockbox.
Notice of Receipt, case number from Texas
Docs are onto National Benefits Center (NBC)
Several weeks later we wait for our fingerprint appointment, then wait for approval
Wait for approval 60-80 days!!! YIKES!!! That is hoping that there is no problem with the paperwork...
This is the first part of the immigration process...To sum up:
I overnighted documents to my out of state agency and they will do some stuff...think it is called authenticate? then fedex most if not all of the docs to the USCIS lockbox..that is roughly a half of an hour drive from our house. This lockbox step takes about 2 weeks...and then I should get notice as well as the official time to await approval will begin.
PRAY HARD!!!
