Biometrics

Last week we received Form I-797C from USCIS in the mail. This letter gave us the appointment date and time to "capture our biometrics." In other words, we had to drive to Charlotte to be fingerprinted. We left really early in the morning to give plenty of time in traffic. It rained heavily and, not surprising, we passed damaged vehicles of two wrecks on the way down. It turned into a beautiful day though, with lunch and a little shopping, just the two of us. Now we wait for approval from Immigration before moving onto the next step.
Thanks to everyone that is helping make this journey possible. The support of family, friends, and coworkers is invaluable. It may take a village to raise a child, but it also takes a village to bring home an adopted child!
