We have final, signed and notarized, home studies in hand. That's very exciting. It's taken us 3 months, and tons of paperwork and patience, to get to this day!
Three originals will be mailed to the state office in Atlanta to be apostilled. That's the verification of the notaries signature which is required when sending documents internationally. Once we get them back, they will be mailed to Ukraine for translation as part of our dossier.
One final original was mailed this morning to USCIS/Immigrations in Kansas to be married up with our application. Once they receive it, which should be Monday, they will arrange for Jode and I to have another set of fingerprints. These prints will be somewhere in the State but we will not know until we get our appointment letter. Once that's complete, they will send us an approval letter and it too will be notarized, apostilled and then mailed to Ukraine as the final piece of our dossier.

We're almost there!
