Update from Sherri's Mom

Just wanted to let you know that, despite everything the adoption
people gave them today(Friday), immigration wants Nadeem to do more
fingerprints. Senator Isakson's staff (Charles Spry) will send an
email to Bangladesh so Nadeem can get these done again Sunday. After
immigration denies his prints twice, then they can use Gwinnett county
police letter and GBI report, but not until it has been denied twice.
It seems so unfair to penalize someone because of a birth defect.

The Atty and adoption agency for Sherri and Nadeem contacted senator
Isakson's staff today to say, as part of the home study, they have
written clearance from FBI, GBI and Gwinnett police dated August 08.
It does not count as immigration has to have their own 2 sets to
reject if there is a problem. IT IS THE RULE!! Then they can use these
other things to give them approval.

Sherri and Nadeem told me they had 2 sets done when they got the
fingerprints done in Bangladesh just in case there was a problem, but
our immigration people can not locate the 2nd set. So we can fight
it or we can redo them. I guess it is faster to redo. The
senator's staff also tells me we need a more recent letter from
Gwinnett police because immigration will not use the one that they
got in August - so I will go get another letter Monday.

Senator Isakson did call the Director of Immigration USCIS but she
will not go around the RULES!!

At this point, we have to dance the way they tell us. but once they
are home, we need to work with our senators to get adoption reform.
Be sure to vote for Senator Chambliss in the run-off!!


Thanks to everyone for all your help, love and support.
