I800!!!!

We received our I800 approval from the USCIS!!

They actually approved it yesterday, and it's on it's way to us as I write this. Our immigration officer answered my email today, on my birthday of all days. I guess the Lord knows that turning 50 is a big pill to swallow, and having great news like this eases the sting and gives me something else to think about.

Now the NVC at USCIS sends a cable to our consulate in Guangzhou saying we are approved, and the consulate will give Lily in China proof of that receipt, and then all the paperwork goes to Beijing for the CCAA to issue us our travel approval letter. This could take anywhere from two weeks to a month after the cable arrives.

Here we go!
