Homestudy

We have been having a difficult time figuring out how to do our homestudy from here. Because Rwanda is in transition into a Hague country, there really isn't anyone who can do it yet. There seem to be 2 ways this could go. 1. the Ministry of Gender can drive across town and do our homestudy and USCIS will accept it for US Immigration purposes. 2. we will have to fly a SW in from Europe or the States at the cost of at least $3000.

I just got off the phone with the USCIS Hague office. They said that yes they will accept a homestudy completed by the Ministry as long as it is signed off by an approved agency. Yahoo!

However, she said that in the eyes of USCIS Rwanda is not yet a Hague country. So, she said that we should wait until they actually reopen to do the homestudy because if the date of the homestudy is when they were Non-Hague they won't accept it. Looks like we will need to wait until we return to Rwanda in August to do the homestudy.

At least we know for sure that they will take it. Now, I just have to beg the Ministry to do it!

Please be praying that this will work out.
