I got my I 171H!!

I am so excited!! We found our referral (turned into referral's) before we were paperwork ready. So that was a little scary. I had confidence that we could get it done quickly, but even I am impressed at how quickly this had gone. It was exactly 4 weeks from the day I sent my I600a in to the day I received our approval, today! We were fingerprinted last Tuesday.

So for us we were able to get a complete homestudy, 2 dossier's and I 171H approval in exactly 4 weeks. Yehaw!

I am just grateful to my homestudy agency and my placing agency for going so quick and for our local CIS sub office that answered 3 different e-mails from me and got our approval so quickly!!

I do have a question though. I onle got my approval in the mail today, not my dh's. I know his prints had cleared b/c when I e-mailed last Thursday his had already cleared and mine had not. So, should I be worried that I have my form and he doesn't ?

Thanks Guys for letting me share. Very few people in my life understand how important this is!!

Congratulations! That is so exciting!

Our approval was all in one letter for both of us.

WoooHooo!

Are you sure about the approval for your husband thing? I'm single, but that just sounds weird. How can they approve one without the other?
