Done (With One Stage)

We are officially done with our homestudy and our psych evaluation and all of our other paperwork...we've sent everything to various states to be apostilled/authenticated (a necessary step to make our papers "legal" overseas). We've had some bumps on the road, but we're done with one huge step. Our social worker mentioned that we have 3 hoops to jump through: the homestudy, the US government, and then Colombia. After that, we'll be waiting, and waiting, and waiting. (Can you tell which part I'm dreading?) We applied with USCIS (the government) on Friday, so who knows when we'll hear from them, but our Colombia program director said that once everything else in our dossier is done, she'll send it to Colombia to begin translations and we'll just send the 171H (approval from US) when it gets done. It makes me feel better that at least our paperwork can get to Colombia even if the US takes a while...which hopefully it won't.
