......80 days......

Here I am again, up in the middle of the night checking my email for any news, unable to sleep. I cant believe 80 days. I sure never thought I would be still waiting after all this time. Better go off to bed...

Grasping at Straws Here


Ok, maybe I am getting desperate but here goes. We had chinese food for dinner tonight. I just noticed one fortune cookie sitting alone on my kitchen counter. I opened it and here is what it said


"YOUR PRESENT PLANS ARE GOING TO SUCCEED"


Hmmmm. Sounds good to me.......

Day 77...received an email, but

...no, unfortunately it wasnt THE email I have been waiting for.
I did receive an email from Hanoi DOS though telling me they are still reveiwing my case. Here is the jist of it:

Thank you for your inquiry.
Please note that USCIS is currently continuing its review of the I-600 petition. As noted on U.S. Embassy Hanoi’s website, for security reasons USCIS is not able to inform petitioners of the status of their case between the time the receipt e-mail is issued and the time that a decision is made on the case. The case is being prioritized as the estimated 60-day time frame for processing has passed, and we expect that you should receive an update on the status of his case in the coming days.

This whole thing is just scaring me and stressing me out and I just pray that my petition will be approved. Now if i only knew what "in the coming days meant". Does that mean a few days, several days, many days, ugh...
Say some prayers for my sweet Tai please, that he comes home soon.

Its Time for Answers


Well, its almost Monday morning in Vietnam and I am ready for some answers. I can't take much more waiting around and checking my email every time I pass the computer. This just has to be the week to find out something. I am ready to get on a plane and bring Tai home to his big sisters. I am praying for amazing news this week.

DAY 75

Unbelievable that I am at day 75 and have heard nothing. I havent posted in a while as we have had a crazy past couple of weeks, scary health stuff for myself and my daughter that thank God have turned out okay. So I am able to concentrate again on bringing Tai home. My poor boy has spent way too long in the orphanage. Next week I will hit day 80 and I am hoping to find out something...

Happy Valentines

I havent posted in a while. This wait is getting so depressing. I am officially at Day 66....with no end in sight.
I just wish we would hear something soon. Tai has been waiting way too long for me.

Day 55

...at least I think it is day 55. I am starting to lose track as ridiculous as that sounds. So the state dept closes on Wednesday so there are 2 more nights to get approval before they close. That would be a great way to start the week...
