We have all our documents for the dossier now. Except of course for the I-171H. We won't get that until we have our home study completed and submitted to the USCIS.

The next step with the documents is to get them all notarized. Then they go to the county to be certified, to the Secretary of State for state certification, and finally to the Chinese Embassy for authentication.

Our plan is get them notarized on the 21st of this month. Then the following week, before we leave for California, I will get them county certified. We will probably wait for the I-171H before getting everything state certified.

Our whole timeline now depends on when we get to see our social worker and how quickly she can get our narrative written.
