On March 18, 2008, I sent a letter with a request for another certified and NOTARIZED copy of our marriage license because the instructions said to "make sure it was notarized."
We received an email on March 19, 2008, informing us (and all China program families) that if we haven't already submitted our I-600A form to USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services aka The Department of Homeland Security) that we need to get it submitted on or before March 31, 2008, or we might not be able to submit anything to USCIS till the fall, if even then, due to Hague Accreditation problems for CHI. They are working diligently on this.
On March 20, 2008, I made a USCIS appointment for March 24, 2008. We had our 2nd meeting with Dick over the noon hour.
We received a copy of our marriage license on March 21, 2008, but it was not notarized. I emailed Tina about what to do about that.
We finished our DVD and 4th test on March 22, 2008. Since part of the last test is hand scored (because there are some free-form short answer questions) we have to wait for the results. We have to each score 80% or more on each test in order to pass. So far Tony has scored 100% on the first 3 and I have missed some but scored high enough to pass. We do help each other on all the questions so we'll see.....

Reading this is fascinating! Who knew there were so many requirements! My mom adopted me in 1993, and I think the requirements might have changed since then however :) Thanks for writing so much about the process and your experiences.
