Kaz Update - or lack therof
Our dossier will have been at the NY Consulate for 60 days on Thursday. I am a little worried after reading comments from people with other agencies whose dossiers were rejected for having the request for a healthy child in their home study. I cannot remember what the exact language is in our home study, but I think it requests a child "with potential for overall good health" (i.e., it is ok if they are sick now as long as we can get them better through treatment).
Our agency guidelines state that it takes an average of 60 days to get through the Consulate review, so we are still within this time frame. Earlier in the year, however, it was taking closer to 20 days to get through, so we are a bit discouraged. I heard from our coordinator today that she expects it to take at least another couple of weeks and she will provide us a new update then. She said "the Consulate is trying to get caught up" presumably following the holidays in March. Which hopefully can be read as our coordinator not being worried about the wording in our home study, right?.

Fun stuff, huh? We have been there about the same amount of time. Our coordinator is on vacation, so I am not exactly sure where we are. I think most of the documents are good for a year. We need to keep track of when things expire like licenses (doctor, home study agency). I'm not sure about notary commission expiration. I think almost all of ours were notarized by someone whose license expires in 2011. I think Jim also sent a letter about USCIS extensions.
Our home study says "healthy as possible." I guess if there was a known problem, we would have heard.
Just found your blog. We also had to re-do our homestudy to say "minor correctable needs" versus "as healthy as possible". It was our understanding that this was just for people who had not yet submitted dossiers (and this was also new information as of 1 month ago). It sounds like your dossier was submitted before that new recommendation, so hopefully you are all set! Looking forward to following the rest of your journey.
Hey, Maybe you will get lucky like Angela & found out your dossier is already in Kaz.

Hey! I just heard from someone else who submitted in February with WPA that their dossier is most likely in Kazakhstan.
