Nov 17 - We finally got the I171H!!

After 88 days since filing, we finally got the I171H yesterday. I think if any of our neighbors saw me jumping up and down in the driveway, they might have thought I was nuts !!

I immediately took a copy of the form to the bank, got it notarized and sent off overnight to the state for certification.

Once I have the state certification, I send it to the Chinese Consulate in Chicago for Authentication. Our agency, Holt, send dossiers on Fridays. However, next week they send on Wed. due to the holiday. I don't think there is any way we will get it to them by now, so I guess our dossier won't be in China until Dec. I had initially (very optimistically, I guess) hoped to have it there by the end of October, but the Milwaukee USCIS held us up with this form.

We are moving closer !!

Praise the Lord and God Bless,
