SERIOUSLY now! Can it really take USCIS 90 days to process an I-600 form???? Apparently our atlanta office does (and I'm sure there are a few select others that do as well.) Some offices are approving their I600 forms in 2-4 weeks - that's sooooo great for those families! The I-600 is required on the US end before we can even think of traveling to pick up our daughter. For our first adoption it took them 3 days - no complaints back then.... so how is it that it now takes 90 days? I'm willing to bet that there aren't that many more (if any) adoptions going through as 2005. So that's our baby being 90 days OLDER! plus you have to add an additional month on the tail end of that for the approved I-600 to make it's way through to NVC (national visa center) and then on to korea for the final steps of receiving a visa interview (for baby G) and THEN a travel call!
People we have requesting info on our I600
2 social workers
1 set of parents (us)
2 senators
And here we are:
7-18-08 -7 wks since legals received & I-600 submitted (G was 6 mo old)
6-2-08 -3 months since our referral (G was 5 mo old)
12-12-07 -9 months since our homestudy to korea (HSTK)
7-07 -14 months since we started the paperwork
4 months old - the age of baby G at the time photos were taken for referral
8 months old - baby G's age now
I bet Baby C thinks baby G is "pretend" and momma and dadda are C R A Z Y. He knows all about her and what's going to happen when we get that call so he's ready.
He's so ready in fact, that when I told him he had to get medicine in his arm in order to get on a plane to korea - he was soooo there! No tears for his shot, just requested his sticker AND asked if we could get on the plane now! I wish baby boy, I wish!
Poor boy probably thinks we live in a pretend world!
I know the call will come, the paperwork will come, and all those good feelings will come but now would be better than later!
