We recently re-applied to renew our USCIS I-171h approval to immigrate a foreign born orphan into the US (i.e. adopt a little girl from China). The USCIS Accra received our application and sent a request to the FBI to re-submit our old fingerprint cards for processing to see if we have any FBI records on file.
The response from the FBI was that our fingerprint cards could not be found. So, the USCIS Accra office told us that we need to be re-fingerprinted at the nearest US Consulate.
Today, we went to the US Embassy here in Kigali and the Consular said that their office in Kigali does not have the authority to do the fingerprints. The nearest place to do the fingerprints is in Nairobi, Kenya.
Guess what, we now have to fly to Nairobi, Kenya, make an appointment with the USCIS office there to be re-fingerprinted, then fly back to Kigali…. It’s interesting to discover all of the twists and turns that this adoption is taking us on.
When this is done, we will be one step closer to bringing our daughter home. Smooth out the road ahead of us Lord Jesus!

The dedication and love that you already have for this child is truly amazing and God is sure to bless you in your efforts.
Where the FBI is concerned, I don’t really get a warm fuzzy knowing that they have misplaced your prints.
Dear Crowson Family,
I continue to pray for you in all areas of your life, for this is a priviledge. God is working and He is Mighty in all Good Works.
Blessings,
Mary
