Today is two weeks from the day we are supposed to travel - 11/1/07. I have so much to do, but at the same time part of me is afraid to actually start packing. We have been having problems with the Fairfax, VA USCIS office. The short version is that the lady did not cable some of our info to the American Consulate in China and at this point our Consulate Appt. is in limbo. She likes playing "God" with adoptive families in this area. She is now requiring an additional form and $585 to complete the adoption. She says that there is a code, but no one is able to find it. We are now working with our Congressman's office to try to get to the bottom of it. We have sent in the money and form - just so we can get the paperwork sent off, BUT we still plan to fight this issue. We have found several situations in the federal code that is directly opposite of what she is saying.
Yesterday, she emailed me and said that the homestudy didn't show sufficient evidence that Bob and I are capable, willing and prepared to provide for a child with special needs. It was so outrageous that we had to laugh. She of course hasn't meet Nathan.
Bob is meeting with tomorrow with the Congressional Liaison in San Antonio. We are really hoping that we will at least find out if the paperwork has been sent. That way we can move forward. Otherwise we may have to change our travel dates.
