We received the coveted I-171H, Notice of Favorable Determination Concerning Application for Advanced Processing of Orphan Petition in the mail today!
"It has been determined that you are able to furnish proper care to an orphan(s) as defined in Section 101(B)(1)(F) of the Immigration and Nationality Act."
Translation:
The USCIS reviewed all of our documents (a TON of documents!), ran our fingerprints through their systems, and gave us their stamp of approval to adopt our boys!
What this means for our timeframe:
There are some specific documents required for the Ukraine that we could not begin until we received this FDL document. So, we can now request our employment verification letters that will list our most recent pay information, then get those notarized and sent to Austin for apostille. Those things will COMPLETE our dossier!
Once our dossier is sent to Ukraine, it's approximately 1 month for them to review our dossier files and issue our appointment to come to Ukraine. We will likely have 15 days notice for travel. We are praying that we will be in Ukraine by sometime in October!
We are a BIG step closer to bringing our boys HOME!!
