Yesterday after work, I got a letter from the Department of Homeland Security. I didn't think anything of it. Afterall, I wasn't expecting CIS approval for at least a couple of months.
So, I went about packing and didn't look twice at it.
I got to work today and decided to email my Social Worker about it, and she asked if it said I-171H on it. Well, I wasn't sure. So, I ran home quickly (luckily I work near my home) and grabbed the form.
HOLY CRAP!!!
T and I have CIS approval!!! It only took a month! We have it! YAY YAY YAY!!!
This is a huge hurdle and the Department of Homeland Security can really hold things up. But we have it. With this all in mind, I'm thinking we'll definitely beat that December estimate for being on the waitlist.
AHHHHHH. Feeling so thankful. :-D

What a nice present, hun. Congratulations! Now enjoy your vacation - you have busy times ahead of you when you return!
That's a big step! In our state it was 6 months and then no response, but I wasn't allowed to call/email about the status until that 6 month window was up...then it came in two business days! These things happen for a reason. That timing led us to our Malachi!
Thanks for posting on our blog. Good luck!
