Our case was submitted to the U.S. Embassy December 26th. It happened while we were sleeping due to the eight hour time difference between here and Ethiopia. What a nice surprise to wake up to?! An email telling us that our case had been received (and a lot of other stuff, too. lol )
Now the Embassy will begin their own investigation to determine if Melaku is indeed an orphan or not. If they determine that he is indeed an orphan, they will approve our case and we will travel to get him.
If they cannot determine that he is, they will send our case to Nairobi, Kenya to the USCIS Field Office and they will investigate further.
We now have approximately 3-7 weeks to wait to hear something from the Embassy. (Or longer)
Thank you for your prayers and for being a part of this journey with us.
We are one step closer to the end of this process.
Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and will enjoy the New Year's festivities!
We have been overwhelmed with blessings---so many people stopped by yesterday to visit and bless us!
Our cup is running over with blessings!!
