appt. with USCIS

We received a letter in the mail this week from USCIS with our fingerprint appt. date.  We both have to be downtown at Homeland Security this Friday for our fingerprint appointments.  I was so excited when I saw it in the mail!  By the way, USCIS is what used to be called the INS, or immigration.  We had to file the I-600A which is a "Advance Processing of Orphan Petition".  It is filled out by prospective parents before an orphan is located and identified for an adoption.  So, you can see where we are in the process....we still have a ways to go.
