Well, the Department of Homeland Security is our new best friend. They rescheduled our fingerprint appointment just one week from the last one we had to reschedule. It's tomorrow! I met with Belinda at Bethany yesterday and went over our dossier. Just two very minor adjustments and it is good to go! Here is the next few steps of our process:
Fingerprint appointment: tomorrow - takes about 1 to 2 months to get back results
Once we get the results we take our dossier (with this paper in it) to the Secretary of State's office in GR to get state sealed.
We then make four copies of this whole packet.
We take these copies to the Bethany corporate office in GR as well (these three steps can be done in same day).
They look over our papers (takes about two weeks) and send them to the Ethiopian Embassy in Washington D.C. (takes about 2 months).
The Ethiopian Embassy then sends them back to the Bethany corporate office in GR.
They then send everything to ETHIOPIA!! This then starts our wait time (which takes about 12-15 months for a referral).
We're getting closer even though it seems so far away. It is well worth the wait.
