A Better Day

I picked up our dossier today from the Secretary of State's office and thankfully it survived the 48 hours that it was out of my sight.  It is now double the thickness with all the apostille sheets that were added and I will soon begin the tedious job of triple-checking each document in preparation to mail it to EE.  Here it is in all it's glory (sorry about the bad lighting).

Still no change with our USCIS situation.  I did speak with the immigration specialist at our senator's office today and the new plan is to have her follow up with our officer in 2 weeks.  She made no guarantees, but was fairly encouraging and said she would be very surprised if all these inquiries into our case from our representatives did not make USCIS take notice and speed it up.  I felt a little better after speaking with her but I know I won't be able to stop worrying until that  I-171H is in my hands.
