My profile has my email too if you want to email.<br /><br />Oh and congrats on finishing your home study! USCIS took about 1.5 months total for us from first mailing to getting our I-171H back. I hope it's that way for you too!Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12841712566261811963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603400846504081911.post-64087077161147092152010-12-12T19:06:11.778-05:002010-12-12T19:06:11.778-05:00Congratulations on the big step!

Like Kristin W we are considering extending our range...we'll see about that. For now it's staying 0-4. Yes, so much is out of our control and the sooner you realize it the better off you'll be. You learned your lesson WAY earlier than I did...I'm still working on it actually =)Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05622597895525196654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603400846504081911.post-10151295445232576802010-12-12T11:55:33.707-05:002010-12-12T11:55:33.707-05:00Very exciting - it's a big milestone!

Every day I changed back and forth. In the end it didn't matter. Since the doc there said one is 4-5, I would have had the boys even if I had gone 0-5 instead of 0-6.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062228583667997005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603400846504081911.post-16944278698102218092010-12-11T21:53:11.478-05:002010-12-11T21:53:11.478-05:00Congrats on getting that step completed.Congrats on getting that step completed.veggiemomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04382130007331410251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603400846504081911.post-44718036607395383512010-12-11T20:57:48.525-05:002010-12-11T20:57:48.525-05:00Congrats on your home study.

In the end, you're right, there's very little you can control. Maybe that's why I made such a big deal about adding half of a year! Hopefully USCIS will move quickly. We did that about a year ago, but ours only took about three weeks before we got our fingerprint appointment.<br />KristinAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-603400846504081911.post-61878299320831679062010-12-11T19:18:35.496-05:002010-12-11T19:18:35.496-05:00Yay!!
