You said you got I600 approval in Dec. Isn't that the "final OK"? What final OK are you waiting for from the Dept. of State? If you already have I600 approval, what else do you need? Marie,
I am confused. You said you got I600 approval in Dec. Isn’t that the “final OK”? What final OK are you waiting for from the Dept. of State? If you already have I600 approval, what else do you need?

I'm hoping we will see a number of I600 approvals come through in the next few weeks, I know a lot of PAPs have been waiting up to two months longer than they anticipated thanks to the switch to the new process.

We received notice of the meeting from the Embassy, as did the 42 ASPs. As far as I know the invite hasn’t been posted on the Embassy website.

In your opinion, what lies ahead (prior to this meeting) for families who have 1) obtained acknowledgement of the I600 application (Nov '07), learned of their I600 approval (Dec '07), obtained a G&R date, (Nov and revised in Dec) and 4) are waiting for the final okay from the Dept of State? Do you think it is possible that our baby's wait will go beyond the 60 days ? Jan 16 will be 60 days. Thank you for advising of the US Embassy’s quarterly meeting invite to ASPs.

Is there a link or location to find the invite? I can't find anything on the embassy site or online. It would be include to our agencies when inquiring about their attendance. We'll all be anxious to hear what comes out of this meeting. Thanks & Happy New Year! Thank you for the information Christina.
