Are we working backwards?

Hello! So, yesterday I pulled an envelope out of the mailbox from the Department of Homeland Security and about jumped 10 feet into the air. Could it be? Did our I-800 form truly get processed in 2 weeks? We were told 30-60 days! WOW! I ran into the house and yelled for Lee. "Lee, it's here!!"....... I tore open the envelope and raced to read it aloud....... and at that moment all the air went out of my breath and the bubble was burst........ What we received was the I-797 FORM! Goodness gracious if we started with the I-800 and are now only at I-797 this process is going to take FOREVER!! Can you imagine how long it will take to get to I-Numero UNO????
Well, that's a joke because it doesn't work like that and I am truly laughing...on the inside. If you could have been there to see Lee and I's faces you would be laughing too! I didn't have my camera close by or I would have definitely captured it on film and posted it here. We received a "Notice of Action" letter from the Department of Homeland Security telling us that they are in receipt of our I-800 paperwork and are sending us an acknowledgement notice. We are awaiting notification from them telling us when and where we will have our Biometrics done . (That's a big fancy word for Fingerprints). We will be given the "Specific time, date and location of the Application Support Center (ASC) where we must go to be fingerprinted". Sounds so....well, stuffy. I wonder if they'll let me take a picture of the event? Te, He, Hee! You KNOW I will have to Sneak one!!!

You have got to have one of the greatest senses of humor I've come across in a long time, I love it! Just remember adoption is a ride to enjoy!

Best wishes, Debbie
