Bringing the Children Early???

Just received email from David.  He suggested bringing Ilya and Snizhana over in the hosting group from 7/20 - 8/13.  His concern is of the risk factor that our dossier will not be in the Ukraine soon enough.  According to David, our travel date may not be until mid to late September.  However, the costs are estimated to be $3K per child (including flight costs).    The expenses are already sizable and this is another unexpected expense and not sure how to raise all this money.  Please pray for this situation and that God will provide the means.

I-600 Forms received + Fingerprints

Several days ago, we received the acknowledgement that our forms were received by Dept of Homeland Security (Immigration Services) with an appointment date of 7/2 to have the fingerprinting done.  David Avilla suggested that it is not necessary to show up on the appointment date, but go as soon as possible.  We tried going yesterday afternoon (June 19th) to Durham to have this done. We showed up at 3:50 pm, but unfortunately, they were no longer doing appointments for the day.

Today, we left around 7:00 am to be at the immigration office before it opened at 8 am.  We were able to get the fingerprints done by 8:30 without any problem.
