USCIS
Today we mailed off our USCIS I-600A, which is the application for advance processing of an orphan petition. USCIS is notorious for delays, so we are hoping for the best. We included a cover letter with our application telling them that we are in the process of adoption a child with special needs, essentially hoping to pull on some heart strings and have them kick it into high gear. Sigh ... we shall see.
