Even if there is no news on travel, there is ALWAYS more paperwork to redo in this process. I just started my home study renewal process since it will be a year old on May 1st and they are only good for a year. So I get to spend $400 for a piece of paper that says nothing has changed in my life. Some of the paperwork expires every 6 months so towards the end of March, I get to go have my fingerprints taken yet again-twice. You would think they would store them on a computer somewhere, but they don't so every 6 months I get to go to the local police station and get printed for the FBI. Then I get to go to St Louis to get my fingerprints taken again for the USCIS because the agencies don't share the fingerprints and each need their own set(this is every 15 months). My favorite paperwork redo is getting a new birth certificate every year because my birthdate is going to change?? I've never figured that one out yet. So by June 1st I have to redo everything I did a year ago. The good thing is that it gets easier every time.

Hopefully this will be the last time you have to do any paperwork (because you'll be on your way). Hang in there!

The homestudy update is crazy since it is just a single piece of paper.
We didn't have to update our birth certificates or marriage certificates. It is strange how different agencies seem to have different rules. We also didn't turn in any pictures of our home with our dossier but we gave them to the judge at Court.
Yes, hang in there. It is a pain to have to go through this. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this is the last time!
