More paperwork done....

I finished the I800, the I864W, and the DS230 forms . I read through the instructions Josh sent, and will have to send him an email to clarify some things he said. I believe I finished it all, but, I'm not certain, so I guess I will have that answer tomorrow. Now we just wait for the LOA. Then, the process looks like this...

SWA receives the LOA and Consulate Acceptance Letter (CLA).

SWA sends the original LOA, a photocopy of the CLA, a copy of our referral, and something he referred to as "the three letters" to us.

We sign the original LOA, keep a photocopy, and send the original back to SWA along with our completed DS230.

We send the photocopy of the signed LOA, the photocopy of the CLA, the referral, the completed I800, a photocopy of the i797C approval, and "the three letters" to USCIS

SWA sends our signed original LOA, the CLA, and our original DS230 to Lily in China

Once the USCIS approves our paperwork, they notify the consulate in Guangzhou China by cable. SWA is also notified by email or phone. Lily will delver the CLA, and the DS230 to the consulate.

After they consulate approves everything, Lily then takes the signed LOA to the CCAA who will then send our TA to SWA.

That is when we can make our consulate appointment, which all our travel dates revolve around. As soon as we have that confirmed, we can leave for China.

It's all a bit involved, but, as long as I keep my head and take it one step at a time, I can handle it.
