Saturday was long day but as we pulled up to the mailbox that evening to retrieve the mail, I was puzzled to see a long envelope from Immigration. I just knew I had made a mistake on my I 800 application. After all, it couldn't be approve yet. As I sat in the driveway, I read over the form and over the form but couldn't figure out just what it was. Finally, I see the box where it says Approval Notice. OMG! I couldn't believe it. Thank the Lord.
Our next step was the National Visa Center. Immigration sends our 800 approval to the Nation Visa Center and they log us in and issue us a GUZ#. Then they send the logged in 800 approval to Guangdong where we will pick up YiLin's Visa during the final days of our trip.
Tomorrow, we have our 1st phone conference with the adoption agency to discuss our travel plans. I'm so excited! We are getting closer to meeting YiLin and I am so thankful.
This is pure joy. Thanks so much for sharing your journey, Mary. The blog is beautiful.
