We received word from our agency yesterday that ALL of our paperwork is complete and ready to send to Colombia. We thought we were done at the begining of September, and just to redo a few (6) minor things. We never thought when we started over a year ago that it take more than 6 months... Oh well we believe the timing will working out perfectly for the daughter we are meant to have. Not that it makes waiting fun.
What happens next...
- Our paperwork is translated into Spanish
- Then it is submitted for approval (hoping for 1 month, could be longer though)
We hope we will be approved by the end of 2012.... Which means we will officially be on the waiting list. Currently the waiting list is considered 6-9 months. I've read rumors that the waiting list timelines should be updated anyday now. Let's hope they are shorter and not longer.
On a side note, I tried practicing my Spanish a little on a trip to Cozumel. I can tell that I need to get a lot farther than level 1 on Rosetta stone to communicate much more than very basic things. It's fun to practice though.
And, we really aren't done with our paperwork. In 2013 we'll have to update our homestudy and immigration approval... So only done for now.
Adios for now!
