I just received word from USCIS of our I800 PROVISIONAL APPROVAL!!!! Our petition was approved late yesterday afternoon and overnighted to the National VISA Center. Many have asked what is left to accomplish so here is a list of what must be completed before we can leave for China...
1. National VISA Center (NVC) cables the file they received from USCIS while our agency simultaneously sends additional paperwork to meet up with our NVC cabled file at the American Consulate in Guangzhou, China. The two files will "get married" and stay together until...
2. Consulate reviews both sets of paperwork, issues Article 5 and sends the info to China-Center-of-Adoption-Affairs (C2A2)
3. C2A2 issues Travel Approval
4. Agency requests Consulate Appointment from the American Consulate in Guangzhou
5. Plan travel and GO TO CHINA!
Due to October national holidays and the Trade Fair in Guangzhou, it is going to be very difficult to travel in October. If we do not leave by September 18 at the very latest we may have to wait until the end of October to leave. We are hoping and praying we make it on a plane before September 18.
