We FINALLY received our approval letter from USCIS in the mail today! What's interesting though is that I wasn't nervous whatsoever before opening it. No "what if we didn't get approved" thoughts or anything.
If you've ever been to college, you remember that feeling of getting your college packet in the mail. It's nerve wracking opening the beautifully, embossed envelope and pulling out that first sheet of paper, looking for the words that (at the time) were going to change your life. I supposed it wouldn't be sent with the uber-nice envelope though if you were being denied.
Case in point, our approval letter came in a normal, boring envelope. CIS must be up to their ears in immigration paperwork, they don't care to make anything special of what they sent to residents.
Our application is good until March 2011 and our fingerprints are good until November 2010. Of course if we make any changes, then we're subject to having to resubmit to have them reconsider our application. Hopefully that's not necessary.
So after this Saturday, which consists of a trip to the bank to get our letter notarized, we will officially be done with our journey through adoption paperwork! And we wait.....
