We received our appointment card from USCIS to get our fingerprints done for them. The date is August 22nd, but we are going to try to go in tomorrow and see if they will do it early. The thing that may be an issue is that my card has my birth middle name (Kristin), not my current one (I moved my maiden name to my middle) and dropping Kristin altogether. Well, when we received the letter from USCIS stating that they are processing our I-600A petition, my name was correct on that. Now it is incorrect on the appointment card, so someone messed up somewhere. I just hope that this isn't a pain in the rear to get it fixed. I plan on bringing my passport and birth certificate with me tomorrow and hope that they can make the correction right there.
On another note, the only thing left to get for our dossier is our bank letter, which states that our accounts are in good standing, as well the balance. I just have to mail that letter, our updated medical forms, email a few more pictures to Kate (dossier service), our IHNFA application. Then our dossier will be sent off to be apostilled while we wait for our USCIS approval to adopt a child. Then we go to the Honduran Consulate and then everything is off to Honduras! It seems like a lot written out, but it's nothing!
IHNFA stands for Instituto Hondureño de la Niñez y la Familia. It's sort of like Social Services here in the States. It's a social welfare agency charged by the Honduran government with overseeing local and international adoptions.
Let's hope there are no problems with the name issue tomorrow!
