Just had our repeat home study visit per USCIS request.  I guess that it's a good thing that we haven't gotten our child abuse letters yet afterall.  We were waiting to send everything to be apostilled until we received those letters.  Our social worker told us that our dossier would need to include our most current homestudy, which will now be updated to include the visit from today.  So, had we gotten those letters already, we would have had to pay out more money to get this newest homestudy apostilled, and our dossier still wouldn't be completed.  So, I guess the silver lining is that the lengthy delay by the child abuse office actually saved us money and hasn't cost us any time yet.  Now, our homestudy will be updated on Monday and we should get new official copies on Tuesday or Wednesday, so hopefully the child abuse office will be able to complete the request and get those letters to us by early this week so that we can send everything off to be apostilled by the end of next week.  I can hope, right?
