OUT OF IBESR!!!

TODAY IT HAPPENED...we received an email this morning saying we are OUT of IBESR!!!  When I saw the memo line of the email that said "out of ibesr"...I yelled for everyone in the house. Luckily, everyone was home- we opened and read these amazing words: 

Dear Finch Family,
Your dossier came out of IBESR today.  Now, either of you may come for the Higher court process.  Let us know when you decide to do so.
Best regards,
Smith

WOW!!!  It has been 8 months and 20 days (not that we are counting or anything), what a Memorial Day!  So the next step is to appear in Higher Court and to file our I600 in Haiti.  I have emailed the US Embassy in Port-au-Prince to schedule our filing date.  As soon as I hear from them (which says it could take up to 7 days for a response), then we will contact Smith, who will schedule our court appearance & then book our flights back to Haiti. 

It will still be several months down the road before the kids get to come home, but this is a GIANT leap forward!!!  I'll keep you posted as soon as we hear from the Embassy with a date!!!
