We finally received our I-171. This document states that we have notice of favorable determination concerning application for advance processing of orphan petition. It basically means that we have been approved through the USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Service) to bring an orphan into the United States. The document had to be sent to the Secretary of State of South Dakota to be "Great Sealed" and then to the Consulate of Guatemala in Denver to be "Authenticated". Our adoption coordinator received the document from the Consulate today and now it will be sent to Guatemala with the rest of our dossier to be translated into Spanish.
