Thank you for your letters

Our efforts have paid off in writing Congressmen and Congresswomen. Last week, USCIS announced that 1 FREE extension is allowed on the I-600A. On July 30th, the fees are increasing so this would have cost us $830 to re-file, but it will now be a FREE extension.

We still have to re-do our homestudy, which involves a social worker, re-fingerprinting, updated medicals and updated physicals, but now a considerable amount of our re-filing fees has been reduced by about 1/2.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to write letters on behalf of us and other adoptive families!
