I am glad to know things are in the right location. I emailed USCIS the other day hoping for some answers. We received a receipt and a receipt number, but I was not able to verify where our file was. The receipt number was not a valid number to use on the website. It was nice to get this response from them. I really am getting anxious about the process. It took about two months for us to get our i600a approval for Elijah. I was told I could submit doctor's letters for Mercy to try to expedite things, but I am not really sure it will help. All I can do is wait and pray. And as I wait I am going to be challenging myself to a month of spending less...I budgeted $100 a week to buy food/groceries for our family for the month. I welcome tips or hints. The remaining money we typically spend will go into our savings for Mercy.
