More questions than answers

I wasn't real sure what to think about all the rumors going around this week about the Kaz program being suspended until I went to www.jcicis.org/Kazakhstan, and this is what I found.



March 17, 2008 -

Joint Council confirms the suspension of dossier processing by the Kazakhstan Embassy and Consulates pending the finalization of a review of adoption cases by the Kazakhstan government. The following represents our understanding of the suspension:

The suspension of dossier processing by the Kazakhstan Embassy/Consulate is effective immediately.
Dossiers which have been processed and fowarded to Almaty will be permitted to continue through to finalization.
Dossiers which have not yet been processed by the Embassy/Consulate will not be forwarded to Almaty and will remain at the Kazakhstan Embassy/Consulate pending the completion of the review noted above.
Kazakhstan Embassy/Consulate will not accept new dossiers pending the completion of the review noted above.

Joint Council hopes to meet with Kazakhstan officials soon and will continue to provide updates and information.

So, now what do we do? Do we submit a dossier to sit and collect dust? Do we change countries? Do we wait it out until we're old and gray and hope for the best? I'm very frustrated. We are supposed to go in the 28th and be fingerprinted for our I600-A and I'm not sure how this will all go down..........

The U.S. Department of State will hold a meeting today (march 24) at the Kazakhstan Embassy. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the recent suspension of dossier processing by the Kazakhstan Embassy.

So, maybe after today there will be more information and you can get a better idea of what is going on and when it will get cleared up.

Keeping you and all the other families trapped in this mess in my thought and prayers.
