Today we got notice that our i-800a was approved! That means that the USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) has approved us as adoptive parents for an internationally adopted child, specifically one child from India.
The next step for us is getting approved in India, which can take anywhere from 2 weeks to 3 months. Our paperwork has been in India for some time now, but we couldn't get approval there until this cleared.
We are so excited for this progress! Thanks for cheering us on and walking this journey with us!
