Actually the embassy has a very important role in making sure the child qualifies as an "orphan" by US standards, so that he/she is able to actually come to the US once the adoption is complete. They also are responsible for making sure that everything involved is on the 'up and up'...if they have any question about this, they will look more closely at the case, possibly even putting it into investigation. I'm not saying that is what is happening here...but keep in mind that they are only asking for the documents that must be provided in order to give you Pre-approval.

By the sound of the request, it almost appears that your attorney just didn't give them the correct documents, or at least in the correct format. So...this sounds as if it is a mistake or omission on the part of your attorney. Hopefully he will have it corrected very soon and you will have your pre-approval.
