We got a referral 8/17. We did not have our 171-H. Our dossier was received in Guatemala 9/18. We are leaving 11/11 for our visit. We will spend 3 nights in Antigua and then will be at the Crown Plaza . We are waiting on PA and have not got confirmation that we are in FC I hope we are by now. We have no medical update since 8/31/06. But we do have pictures from October. Have a great visit.

Suzanne,

We, too have no confirmation on FC. I can only imagine that if it wasn't completed prior to us getting PA, that SWI is being completed this week or next... I pray that we are waiting to exit FC so we can enter pgn!

Hope you can get confirmation soon.

We actually accepted our referral on July 25, so I'm not quite an August beginner but.....I can't resist posting. We're in FC and we've gotten DNA auth, the test hasn't been done, nor has the swi He's a picture of my little guy, he's 12 weeks old here and today he's 17 weeks. I hope to visit soon!

We received our referral on July21, but we didn't have our 171h until 8/21, so 8/24 is my official start date. We received Pa already and are waiting to exit FC to get into PGN. Our agency told us possibly this week but not guarantees. Our please let us be out!!!!

August referral here!! We have been in family court for a couple of weeks..don't know if the interview has been done yet . We FINALLY recieved our DNA authorization last week, we are still waiting to hear if the test has been done ...Hopefully, it will be done soon, so we can get our "pre-approval" before the "holiday slowdown".
We also recieved new pictures last Friday
Wish I knew how to post them.
Good luck to the rest of you....hope you get some good news soon....

We got our referral on August 28 also. When I was in Guat. on 10/12, the facilitator told me that the ** interview was to take place in a week. He didn't even have a copy of my I171H that I had recieved three weeks prior!!! He said we were still in translation but should be intering FC within 10 days.

I haven't heard anything from my agency. I was told that they have a message to our facilitator and are waiting to hear back from him.
