Making progress

The only thing we need before we can send our dossier to China is our immigration approval, and we hope to have that by the end of the month. We were scheduled to have our fingerprints taken on August 19th, but that is the first day of school; and we just couldn't miss Reagan's first day of Kindergarten (not to mention that it would be impossible to get everyone to school, drive three hours to the USCIS office, wait for the fingerprints, and drive back home in time to meet the bus)! I called the USCIS office, and a very nice immigration officer told me we could just go whenever we want and not to worry about the date they gave us. So, we're going this week and hoping she knew what she was talking about!

With any luck, all of our paperwork will be delivered to China by the first of September. Then we wait again.
