Homestudies and I600As

So, I got a call from Laura our SW yesterday. We are meeting on Tuesday to go over our rough draft of our homestudy report. I am so excited!!! (Picture me dancing right now). So, this led me to ask her about the I600A form. Should we bring it to the meeting? And I asked her about InfoPass. For those of you who don't know, you make an appointment on-line with someone at the Immigration Office closest to you, and they help you fill out the form and fast track it. She recommended that we go this route instead. So we have an appointment at 7am (groan) on March 28. It is supposed to turn the processing time around from one month to one week or there abouts!!! I really think that we are going to be able to make our May 1 deadline after all!!! (picture more dancing)

And my last bit of good news is that I FINALLY found a parenting class for us to take. This does not seem like it would be a hard thing to do, but I could not find a class that was not part of a three part child birth class or breast feeding class. My frustration level was so high. How could the hospitals not offer them? I work in the Longwood Medical area with about 5 hospitals in spitting distance!! When I asked them about a parenting class, it was as if I was asking them for a DIY lobotomy kit or something. I finally found one that even includes the Infant CPR component, and even got us registered in the last two slots for the April 17th class. AWW YEA!
