I 171-H Extension?
In an online discussion today, Emilio Gonzales (Under Secretary of Homeland Security Director, USCIS) had this to say:
Donald, from Anaheim, CA writes:
With international adoptions taking much longer to complete, how is the USCIS addressing requests to lengthening the time that I171H and other related documents are valid?
Dr. Emilio González:
Thanks for your question, Donald. We are very much aware of this issue and recognize that there are concerns with the process. Currently, USCIS is closely reviewing the existing regulations regarding the I171H which is the inital step in the approval process for parents seeking international adoptions.
So. Not really much of an answer, so unless they decide to do something pretty quick, we could easily be out another $2000 when our fingerprints expire and we have to start back from square one with USCIS.
