Homestudy Complete!

Our social worker sent us the first draft by email this week. We found a few typos (for example we met in 1996, not 1966). Thanks to all of our recommenders! She included some quotes, and we're rather embarrassed by the gushing. Maybe that's a second reason that recommendations are (mostly, apparently) anonymous.

In the meantime we filled out the I-800, the big government form that gets our process officially moving in the USCIS realm. We couldn't figure out a couple of questions, so we emailed that to our agency and asked for help. Can you believe it, a government form to which the answers aren't clear to reasonably average but overeducated people? We got that cleared up this week too.

So next week we should get our official copies of the homestudy in the mail, and send one out with the I-800. Then we wait for our fingerprinting appointment (probably in about a month).

How exciting! Sounds like things are moving right along. I agree, Gus in his toddler bed, a crib does look a bit naked without a mattress. Gus might begin to wonder if he is getting "company" with a new mattress in his crib. We look forward to hearing more. Love to all!
