VISAS

We received our visas yesterday for travel to China!  Now we are just waiting on Kara's visa!  Should be ready June 4th and from there it will go to Beiijing for TA!  Can't wait!!!!!!!

Waiting, AGAIN!

Ok, so immigration approved us and we sent out the paperwork for our visas!  The DS230 is the application for Kara's visa.  Per an email from Betty, our coordinator -

The DS230 will spend 10 business days at the consulate and then they will issue an Article 5 letter. The Article 5 letter will go back up to Beijing and our staff will walk it into the CCCWA. They will then issue your TA about 2-3 weeks afterwards.

Once we receive TA (travel approval), our agency will be able to make our appointments in China and then be able to book our travel arrangements! 

God is so! so! good!  We are beyond excited and can't wait to meet our daughter!

UPDATE! UPDATE!!!

Wow!  Asked if we could get an update on Kara.....this is what I received today!  I can't stop smiling!  I will let you do the conversions on her update :o)

The Next Step

Received our I-800 and our NVC letter this week so we are off to the the next step of the process!  Next step is to have our agency file for Kara's visa and we will be applying for our visas to go to China!  Once we are approved for Kara's visa, China will be sending us TA (travel approval).  God is so good!  Everything is moving along smoothly and it won't be long until we have Kara in our arms!
Happy Mother's Day to ME! 

I-800

OK, so as of tomorrow, it will be 3 weeks since we sent in our immigration paperwork!  Hate this waiting game.....Please pray that we receive it this week!
