Are you talking about background checks through INS? From your fingerprinting? That should not hold up the homestudy. If you are talking about your criminal records background check, then that only takes a few minutes at your county courthouse, and so you could have that done and mail it to your SW within one day.

Are you getting a homestudy done in order to become a foster parent? I don't know anything about that situation, but I still don't see why that would hold up a SW from doing his/her interviews and getting your biographies together, etc.

We are currently doing our homestudy and have our INS paperwork going through at the same time. NOTHING is being held up because of INS. I have my individual interview with the SW this Thursday, and then she'll take about a week or two to finish writing our homestudy. Our adoption from Guatemala will start being processed at the first of the year...without our fingerprinting being completed, and then when that is done, it will be sent down and our case will progress on into the final stages.

Good luck with your situation. I can't think of a reason why you are being put off, unless they are just busy.
