As long as there's room in your house, love between you and DH, money to raise another kid, and there's not a knife weilding murderer in your basement, you'll be good-to-go. Alot of the time when homestudies are failed it's because DW and DH are trying to get a kid to save their already crumbling marriage, or one of them has has criminal/drug/mental-stability problems in the past. None of those sound like your family? Then you'll be good to go. Now, onto the I-600; Personally, I would send it. I sent ours in August (I think) the day after we mailed the agency contracts. We hadn't even received the acceptance letter from them yet. Sometimes, depending on your state, the BCIS will look at your file prior to the homestudy, some won't even look at it before you're fingerprinted. In any case, if you're confident of your homestudy, I would do it now. Then its out of the way. Just my thoughts. In my experience, homestudies are pretty hard to “not” pass.
