Paperwork & Michal's wardrobe

Steps Remaining in our Paperwork Process

Our visa applications were sent out yesterday. So, I was looking to see how many steps we have left before the paperwork process is completed for us to get Travel Approval (TA) to go to China. 

I feel excited and a little nervous at the same time when I realize there are not very many steps remaining!

We are waiting on our I-800 Provisional Approval (PA). This could come any time between now and two more weeks.

Then, 5-7 days latter we get our National Visa Center letter (NVC).

Next, our DS-260 is delivered to the US consulate. NVC letter & DS-260 goes to CCAI (adoption agency) and the express mail it to Beijing.

Two weeks after our documents are received in China, we will be issued and article 5 (U.S Central Authority's approval for Hague Adoption).

One and a half to three weeks after article 5 we get Travel Approval (TA).

And finally, we will travel to China 10 to 21 days after TA!!!

Building and entire girls wardrobe is challenging. . . Especially when you don't know what sizes she wears. 

We are going with 12-18 mths clothes and sizes 5-6 shoes
