We are waiting for our I 171-H extention . Because we had to update everything for our updated homestudy to be submitted, we are now looking at upto 7 weeks to wait  .Mean while she waits in an orphanage that is about to close it's doors , we have begged for mercy from our USCIS office in Pittsburgh P.A. , with no reply . If anyone knows ANYONE who could help, PLEASE let me know .

Wow - that is so wonderful- CONGRATULATIONS Mommy & Daddy!!!!
Sending my wishes that our government is able to come to its senses and Loida will be home soon! I agree with others that a little congressional political pull could be very helpful here.
