We were fingerprinted yesterday for USCIS. This is our last step, basically. In 4-6 weeks, we should get our 171H, which is immigration approval.

Our documents were going to be on their way to Miami, the Guatemalan consulate. However, one of our notaries stamp and signature did not match the way her name was listed with the secretary of state. So, we are having to redo 12 of those documents. We were lucky that she was in Kyle's office and we had not paid for them! Once those are redone and our 171H comes in, we will be "paper ready."

So, we are looking for a referral of a baby girl sometime in June!

Our experience yesterday was such an answer to prayer! Our appointment wasn't until next week, but we will be out of town. So, I called the office in New Orleans to see if we could come earlier. I was given a very emphatic NO. Frustrated that it might be weeks before we could be fingerprinted again, I called back a while later and was told by a different person, the supervisor, that it would be completely fine. We knew that it was risky to drive to NO yesterday as whether we got to be fingerprinted early or not was at the mercy of the lady at the desk.

There was no one at the desk when we first arrived. After a few minutes, though, a lady came out and said that the regular worker was on break and she would help the next person in line. When I told her our situation, she gladly cooperated. 5 minutes after getting our information and giving us a number, the regular person returned from break. By looking at her nametag I realized it was the same person who had told me NO over the phone. We could see that God had answered our prayers by her being on break for the 10 minutes that it took to get us ready for fingerprinting!

We look forward to watching Him work in many more ways throughout this process.
