Just When You Think It Can't Get More Complicated!

I first want to say that I appreciate all of the encouragement I have been receiving.

Ok, so today I called the FBI and the nice agent that I had talked to referred me to the FBI Customer Service to find out what my options are at this point.  The perfectly rude Customer Service Representative said that I do not have any options.  They must be able to get readable prints for my mother.  I did find out that she can go to a fingerprint specialist who will scan her prints electronically and then print them on the fingerprint card.

So I do a lot of research on the internet, called the TX Dept. of Transportation and finally find a company that have the scanning capabilities.  I scheduled an appt. for my mother to go and get her prints scanned.

Then my Adoption Agency contact, Sara, calls me and we discuss the options.  We fretted about the fact that her prints still may not be readable.  Sara said she would discuss my issue with the agency and call me back.

Sara called me right back and said that the best thing I can do at this point is just take my mother off of the Home Study and change the status with Immigration.  She said that I would need to send a letter to Immigration to have my I 600 A form changed.  This does seem like the best option at this point.  But guess what else????  My fingerprints are getting too old to be accepted by legal review.  So I probably will have to be fingerprinted again!

I sent an email to the Social Worker who did the Home Study so that she can make the adjustments necessary.  Then when I got home I looked at my Immigration approval and it said I can get a revised form, but I have to send in a revised Home Study along with the original form.

So I am in waiting mode again hoping to hear from the Social Worker very soon.

I hope you are all having a better week than I am!

Cheers!
