I received my letter from USCIS this week with my fingerprinting appointment. I walked in two weeks early and they fingerprinted me today! I have not cleared USCIS yet- now that they have my fingerprints they'll process my application to bring an orphan into the US. But it's one step closer!
I also got all my documents for my dossier notarized a few days ago. Now I need to fax them to my agency, who will make sure they're good to go before I shell out $600 on apostilles (which is basically a state level notary verifying the notary who signed is in good standing). My state charges $15 per document, so that adds up fast. After I'm cleared to apostille, I'll send everything to the agency, who will send it on to the foreign country!
