Just got word today that the WI Immigration office has revised their policy on accepting re-files for approval to adopt. They now will accept these applications 90 days prior to expiration as opposed to 30 days! Yeah!!! My social worker and agency really worked hard for this and used us a perfect case that could potentially be affected if they didn't revise. We're so close to the expiration of our Approval to Adopt that we didn't gain much time in this new policy revision. It does make me feel better to be able gain any possible time and also to know that this will give a whole lot of peace of mind to other WI families. We'll just have to see how it all turns out and what the timing of re-approval and referral will be...it could still be a tight squeeze but at least our re-file will be in the hands of immigration officers and when push comes to shove, we'll get our Senators involved to get our re-approval in time.
NOW, I seemed to have lost George's Birth Certificate and I'm in a mad rush to get together all the necessary documents together to submit for our re-file including another large check all so we can get the "approved" stamp that we had 18 months ago!!!
