i hate to panic you,
but Cleveland is not only a SLOW office in regards to fp appt, and clearance, But that I171h typically takes a good 2 months once all is said and done.
I would say, however that if there is a problem and they did infact recieve you form/money, you would have gotten it all back and told how to fix it.
My concern is that it got misplaced.
my first hs was misplace somewhere in that large building, even though i had the info that it was in fact signed for upon delivery.
You may have a horrific time getting through at the number 'publicly' posted, and in dealing with them for 3+ years, i can say there is no other number. i have actually used 3 phone lines at one time trying to get through to them...busy busy busy.
It is VERY frustrating.
I would recommend that you post this to the 'ohio international adoption yahoo group'. there are LOADS of folks with current info on what you might do.

On the flip side, though i hope you never ever need this,
when there is a real crisis like i had at the expiration of my I171h, their was an office (i cant remember his name) who really really came through for our family. but i had to knock on a lot of doors lots of times to even get to him!

next time you send funds, i would use a money order. there is i also a chance they are waiting for the check to clear which is 15 business days. most of the time a m.o. is sent to avoid any Extra issues.

please pm me if youd like.

im sorry to be the bearer of the news of rough waters ahead.
hang in there and be thankful you arent using one of the uscis offices in FL. i cant remember which one, but they are often 3 PLUS months behind! arugh!

cris....wish all this was not the case, and hoping that in the past 9 or so months...it miraculously all changed for the better~!
