Process and Paperchase Update

We are still on course to travel to Ust, hopefully mid-June or so. Very excited but nervous!

A few weeks ago we had a paperwork fire drill, we figured out that our I-171H was actually going to expire on June 18, probably while we are in Kaz. So we went through a full court press sort of process, updated our home study, background checks, etc. and then sent everything off to the USCIS with a rush on it. Ultimately we won that battle and got our new I-171H late last week.

Now we are in the process of getting the paperwork in order for visas and getting some final things apostilled...also checking the box on things like travel insurance, financial arrangements, etc. So much to do, but we have now kicked the process into high gear.

Thanks to everyone for all of your help and support!

Hi, I'm not sure how I found your blog but wanted to send you my best wishes. I returned one month ago with a beautiful, 9 month old boy from Petropavlovsk. Life is so rewarding. Kindest regards, Susan from Austin

Dan & Allison-

I have been hoping to see an update and have been checking your blog regularly. I am glad to hear that you are still "on course". This is an exciting yet highly nerve wracking time!

We will keep you in our thoughts and pray that things go smoothly on both sides of the world!
