Waiting...

We are still waiting to be assigned a Case Manager at Immigration.  We were told that once you mailed in your hefty application (along with all the documentation), were fingerprinted, you would have your 797 usually within 2 weeks.  That is not the case any longer- it only took a month of waiting and several phone calls to find this out.  NOW, Immigration takes 40-70 days from receipt of your application, to even assign you a Case Manager.  We will hit day 40 on Monday.  So we will continue to wait and inquire weekly about our status.  Al is going out-of-town next week, so we will probably have lots of important things happen.   Wonderful if that is the case!  From those who have traveled this Adoption Road ahead of us, we hear that these kinds of things are perfectly normal and actually not that bad.  So, we will continue to wait....
