Did you hear me SCREAM??

LOA...LOA...LOA...

It came!!

This is the Letter of Seeking Confirmation...this means that CCAA (China Center of Adoption Affairs) has reviewed our file and have approved us to adopt Solomon. We are now waiting for our travel approval...ahhh, did you hear that...we are waiting for our travel approval. Prayerfully we'll be in China in 2-3 months!!! Please join us in praying that these next steps go smoothly and quickly!!!!

So what happens now...it's pretty confusing to me but this is what to expect next:

~DS230 & LOA go to China while we are waiting for the i800 approval.

~Once the i800 approval comes, I email it to my china coordinator

~The USCIS sends the approval to the NVC...they scan and record it

~NVC then cables it to GZ

~We receive a cable note in the mail that we email to our china coordinator

~She emails the cable note to our contact in China

~Our china contact prepares the Article 5 and sends it to GZ on a Mon. or Thurs. only

~Art. 5 can be picked up 2 weeks later

~then TA

(I800 is immigration approval, NVC is National Visa Center, GZ is Guangzhou this is where the US Consulate is located, TA is travel approval)

We are getting closer sweet son...so close!!!
