Updated I171H Received

We received our updated I171H today in the mail. It reflects our new fingerprints expiration date of July 9, 2009. That is great because our old fingerprints expire on May 10th; this way, there will be no gap....We are in the process of setting a date with our social worker for an updated homestudy. (It will be one day during the last week of May) Texas requires an updated homestudy within 6 months of travel for your child. When our homestudy is complete, I will go ahead & file for the I171H Extension just in case...our approval does not expire until August 26th of this year, but I don't want anything to lapse. OK, I'm doing our part...come on USCIS HCMC...I would love to see approval someday in the very near future :)
