FBI Clearances Are in my Hands...Woo Hoo!!

The last thing I was waiting on paperwork wise to take to court with us were our FBI clearances and they got dropped off this morning. Yeah!!!! What a stressor that was. They say not to send them off until after your first trip when you get a court date so they won't expire before court. Good, b/c you don't want them to expire, but when the FBI tells you it will take 8-10 weeks for you to get them back and you have court in 4, it turns really bad. So last week I called our congressman and both senators needing help to expidite our clearances and they came through. I've got to say a big thank you to Congressman Ron Paul's office, I know they took care of it. Word to the wise, if in a bind don't be afraid to call for help, they want to help, they want your vote, I know who will be getting mine. Now I can get these last few things sent to Austin to be apostilled and we are almost paperwork done, if that's really possible. One step closer to our baby girl. We'll be holding her again in 3weeks from tomorrow. Oh, little one, we are coming!

    And thank you, thank you, thank you for this tip! We also live in Houston, and went on trip 1 at the same time as you. We are currently waiting for our FBI clearances. I will be calling Ron Paul's office tomorrow!

    That IS great news!! Ours were submitted the first week of January (our second batch as its been over 6 months!!!) and we're still waiting. As our case is looking up, I better try to speed things up as well as I hope for a speedy court date. Glad things are going smoothly for you :o)

    We had to get senatorial help to get ours through the FBI, too - and they got apostilled yesterday and are arriving at our agency this a.m. with a gazillion other court documents. Nice work! Hooray for us both!
