Thank you for your private message.
I used this linked, because it's always kicking me out of the system. Thank you that you still remember me.
About my orphans niece and nephews that I'm adopting, we already started our homestudy last Oct 1 and our social worker promised us that she will try to finish it this Jan.
We turned in our I600A application and we are ready to do our finger printing next week. I know we are getting more excited.
I think after the INS reviews our homestudy and the finger printing is cleared, our agency will pass it to ICAB ( a filipino liason will do the presentation of our case, the child study report and our homestudy plus Dozzier).
Let's say we have a positive outcome from the board. ICAB will prepare a legal papers of the children. That paper works coming from ICAB stating what is the situation of the children, and then, we will attach it with I600 form and apply here in the states. If then approve, INS here will wire in to US Embassy in Manila, then the children will do the medical and interview.
We are just anticipating to travel by June.
Thank you again
Rena
(Child Study report was done from Feb 14 '03-Aug 28 '03, and this was our first step)
*Jonny I think you are in the right track.
A piece of advise to everybody, if you are adopting from the Philippines, orphans, non orphans, relative or non relative they need to start or talk to somebody from ICAB. Everybody has a unique circumstances.
