Fingerprints

This morning, Steve and I went to the Kansas City office of Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) to file our pre-application (I-600A) with the Department of Homeland Security and to get our fingerprints taken. For Sophie's adoption, we did these things separately, but now our KC office wants you to do them both at the same time. We are relieved to report that it was smooth sailing this morning as we were in and out of there in just under an hour! Hooray!

Just an FYI...once our pre-app is approved and our fingerprints clear the FBI, we'll receive our official Notice of Pre-Approval (I-171H) ...this just makes it all the easier to file with our government once we get our kiddo's referral. Such a process, huh? We're so glad to have one more step completed on our journey.
