Our 171-H expires 7/12/07. I hadn't sent in the new I-600A, and then we got THE CALL. In two days we got the homestudy updated, docs together and sent it in. It was received 5/30/07 in the OKC office.

We have been told if we don't get the new 171-H in the next week or so, our chances of a July courtdate are gone, and there probably aren't any courtdates being scheduled in early August. There are a lot of complications with our sons particular case, and if we have to wait past August, we may have some issues getting this completed AT ALL.

So, we asked our congressman to help. They inquired, and the response they got was very ugly. Basically said all that they've had a lot of problems with Russian adoption cases lately and, I quote, "It appears they will need to probably get a new court date scheduled after they receive their I-171H."

I am more devastated today than I have ever been during this past two years. I will be contacting our congressman again today to ask them to push higher up and harder, but if the processor has this attitude, is it really going to help?

I never in my wildest dreams thought it would be the US govt that would take my adoption off the track. I know that my tardiness in filing is the cause, but I also know I read of expedited cases all the time.

Sorry this is so long, I just don't know where to turn...
