We meet Linda, the social worker assigned to us through Bal Jagat. The Homestudy consists for 4 meetings. One with Bob and Gina together, one each individually, and one to go thru our home and make sure it is suitable. Linda thinks she can get the homestudy completed by the end of January, which is great because the home study needs to be given to Immigration to go along with the I-600A which we filed in December. Once the I-600A, the FBI Livescan fingerprints and the Homestudy are all there, the paperwork is process and we are given a I-171 form which basically grants us permission to bring a child into the U.S. With the I-171 in hand, we then send everything to U.S. Asian Affairs in Monterey Park to be validated and translated into Chinese.
Linda tells us she is busy as there are a number of people trying to make the May 1 deadline.

Congrats on getting your paperwork in to USAA so quickly! Hopefully the wait will speed up and you'll have Alex's Mei Mei home sooner than you dared to hope!
We've used USAA twice and consider it to be two of the best choices of our entire life!
