We got an email today from our agency that says,
“The NY state Dept of Child and Family Service has decided to expedite the clearances for China Adoptions. The petitioners need to have their agency submit the fingerprint cards overnight mail and the clearances will be done in one week.”
Only issue is that our fingerprint cards were already sent back to the OCFS. Our social worker called them and they have flagged our names and will know by Monday if they found the cards that are already sent and can expedite them OR they will send the agency new cards for us to get fingerprinted again and our agency will overnight back to them and then they will be expedited. Either way, we'll have our clearances done at around the timeframe they would have been done if they had not sent them back the first time and probably several weeks earlier than the new process would have been! So we still have a chance to meet the China deadline. Let's hope USCIS cooperates too!
In case we don't meet the deadline we have been researching Vietnam adoption and will be ready to switch over to another agency and the Vietnam program if we have to. The timeframe for a girl is about the same as China so we'll still have to deal with that.
