At long last, our packet is on the way to USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services) office in Jacksonville, Florida.
Included in that packet is our home study, copies of our birth certificates, marriage license, cover letter, and a check for $685. This is $70 each for FBI fingerprints which will be assigned at a later date, and $545 for a "processing fee."
Now I have long since quit complaining about how much adoption costs. But does anyone else think that $545 is a lot to "process" our application?! It may just be me here. Oh well.
The check is in the mail!!
Next milestone: fingerprint appointment and approval from USCIS to submit dossier to China -- hopefully by February of next year.
