Fingerprints Approved!

We received our official document from the USCIS:

Our fingerprints have been approved! 

Next step: have all documents authorized

by the Secretary of State's Office. 

I will drive round-trip (7+ hrs) to Indianapolis on Wed.

in time to photocopy the documents and overnight them

to a Courier in Chicago for Thursday delivery to the

Chinese Consulate's Office in Chicago!

Whew!

The Courier will pick up the documents on Mon.

and overnight them back to me for Tue. 1/18 receipt!

Each document will then be photocopied twice

 and delivered to our agency on Tue. 1/18!!!!!!

Our Dossier will be reviewed by our agency and

hopefully on a plane to China Thursday, 1/20th!!

China will then "Log-In" receipt of the Dossier within

a week or two and then the countdown begins! 

We should expect our "Letter of Approval" within 2-3 months

(depending if Chinese New Year slows down the process). 

Upon LOA approval, it's another 3 months until travel!!!

While we wait for LOA, we need to visit the
International Travel Medical Clinic for shots...

and apply for our Visas but nothing major....just waiting!!!

We will receive updates on Yu Xi Gang (height, weight)
and a few photos every 3 months until we travel....

so, the end of January will be 3 months!!

We can't wait to see how our little guy!

A picture is truly worth a million words!!
