As part of my morning routine, I called USCIS this morning to find out if I had an officer assigned yet to process my I-600A application. To my shock, she said YES and transferred me! Oh my - what was I going to say??? I explained to my officer that we are adopting a boy with special needs from EE (I told her the country) and that I need to have my dossier over to them by Nov. 1st before they shut down for 3 months. I asked if she could give me an idea about how long it might take for approval. So, she looked for my file...for a long time...I was starting to get a bit nervous. :-) But as I was on the phone, someone stopped by her office and handed her a pile of applications. Ours was in there! Whew! She said she had 35-40 applications in front of ours, but she would move ours up to the pile she was hoping to get to this week!!!! Can you believe it?!?! What an answer to prayer!!!! Thank you Lord!!!! (I didn't even have to beg. :-))
After discussing when our fingerprint appts are (a week from today), she said she would look at our file on Monday since she can't approve it before then anyway. Fair enough. :-) So, hopefully, we will be approved within a few days after our fingerprints. That still gives us a few days of breathing room to get our dossier over to Elijah's country! Thank you to all of you that have prayed for this. Please don't stop!
Thank you God for the favor you granted us with this officer. Glory to your Name!

Praise the Lord!
I'm so happy to read this, as we are in the same boat as you. Maybe we have the same officer! I called Friday, and the lady that answered said, "umm, it says you called Tuesday" I thought I was doing good to not call everyday!! She told me that they usually send off the ones they approve on Friday, so to call back the middle of this week. I'll be calling tomorrow! At least I know what date you told them, so I will be on spot with your explanation. Hopefully I will get an officer as kind as yours.
That is wonderful news! I hope things move very quickly now.
Jill, that is SO EXCITING!! WOW!!
We do not have an officer yet:( I called this morning. She was not as sweet as before, she counted how many times I've called (only 4) and asked if she could just put a note on my file to tell my officer to call me once I am assigned one.
I will be calling on Friday!Sorry lady, I have daughter to get home!
Yay! Wonderful news!
PRAISE THE LORD!!
Oh, I just knew he'd come through for you. Remember, "do you trust me?" asked the Lord. He's got this one in the bag for you, Jill. I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up as well as I should on here, but now I'm all caught up and can't wait to check in on your posts every night!
And, @AddingOn: You go girl! Keep on calling.
