This means that the US government is notifying China that they will issue a visa to our children, so that they can return home. From here, that notice goes to the NVC (National Visa Center) and they send us a letter that the approval has been cabled to China. Now, EVENTUALLY it will make its way here via snail mail... But, you know me! :) We have emailed and received PDFs via email MUCH earlier the last two times. So, knowing that they have had a week to process, I will email the standard request Sunday night. This way it is sitting in their inbox first thing Monday morning!
When we get this PDF, I will forward it to our social worker. The China staff takes over and drops off some important paperwork for our NEXT TO LAST STEP (Article 5)! It takes exactly 2 weeks for Article 5 (they determine pick up from drop off date). After this, we wait for TRAVEL APPROVAL!! The average is 10 days!
WE ARE SO CLOSE!! We will not travel until the beginning of May. We need to fundraise yet (we don't have the money to leave right now anyways) and the Trade Fair will double or triple hotel prices and airfare at the end of April. However, I will rejoice when I know we CAN leave!! :) Exciting times!!
