We Got It!
We got our 171H today in the mail!! It's funny after you all told me what to expect I still looked at it and thought, "Why am I getting a bill from USCIS??" HA HA Then it hit me and my knees went weak! It has been 3 weeks since we were fingerprinted at the Memphis office.

I'm really nervous that this really speedy paper chase part is going to be all the luck I get. HA HA Ya know they say easy baby = crazy toddler and crazy baby = easy toddler? LOL What if it's the same with adoption...fast paperchase = slow PGN and slow paperchase = fast PGN. HA HA Our homestudy and 171H both were really fast.

I don't really know. We have a few documents that need to be changed for our dossier and then it all has to be certified and authenticated. My dossier packet from my agency said that we could have a referral as soon as the dossier is approved but before the certifications, etc. I'm just not sure.
