When you are adopting and waiting for a little letter to come from USCIS (US citizenship and Immigration)
you are beyond excited when you see an envelope in the mail from them, just like I was yesterday.
My thought was NO WAY, they could not have processed this that fast.
And guess what?
They didn't.
They returned it. BOO. Why? Because I left blank what country we were adopting from on our I800a.
How did I and my agency miss that?? Oh well I wrote CHINA in big ole letters and paid $20 to have that
thing overnighted back to them. Never mind CHINA and our name were written on the outside of the envelope. It also had included a piece of paper for me to have on top to have it expedited so at least they are thoughtful, right?
Well if they finish if as fast as they rejected it I sure better get busy with the last pieces of my Dossier, I had been dragging my feet because I was told it would take them 2 months to approve it. Maybe not!!
