Our CIS Application has been processed!!!

I just recieved an email from CIS (Citizenship and Immigration Services) and our application has been processed. On Monday, I emailed them asking if they would be willing to expedite our application since we are adopting a child with special needs, who is needing surgery between 12 and 18 months and they immediately emailed back requesting a letter from a treating physician. I sent a letter this morning from Dr. Kevin Smith, an Ear Nose and Throat Physician at OU Medical Center who specializes in the treatment of cleft lip and palate. His letter reiterated the need for surgery before 18 months of age and I am so grateful for his help. Because of his letter, we are now scheduled to be fingerprinted next Wednesday, February 6th at the US-CIS office in Oklahoma City. Then, we will wait for our 171-H, more required paperwork, to be processed. Once we receive our 171-H we will be able to send our dossier to China. And, once we send our dossier to China, we will wait 3-5 months before we are given travel notice. Thank you for your support and prayers...we are so appreciative.
