Friends, Relatives, and Fellow Adoption travelers,
I am thrilled and STUNNED to announce that I received the "coveted" I-171H on Saturday, the 6th. As you may have gathered from my last post, I didn't expect to receive it for several more weeks. Everyday I stop by the mailbox hoping against hope that it will be there, but never ACTUALLY expecting it to have arrived yet! And there it was!

Timeline: Homestuday sent to USCIS on July 26th
Registered on the 27th
I-171H arrived in the mail on Aug. 6th

So off I go! I'm taking off work the rest of the day and I will walk all the dossier docs (Inc. The 171) through the county and state offices and express mail to Houston. Almost there.

To steal from (and mutilate) the words of the late William Shakespeare......


Hark! What light through yonder window breaks.... It is the east.....And *Amelia* is the sun.
(and the warmth of anticipation envelops me)
