hurry-up and wait

I am keeping my fingers crossed that we will receive our Homestudy in the mail today, so that I can get to the PO before they close and Priority mail our I-600a packet to Detroit so we can wait for the I-171H approval in order to finally send our dossier to the Kaz embassy-- all this hoping the embassy doesn't suspend accepting dossiers again before we can get ours in and approved.
I just read this back to myself and it makes my head spin!
