Another Step Complete...

I woke up this morning (my birthday!) at 5 am to an e-mail from the National Visa Center with the info we needed to move forward with Audrey's Immigrant Visa. What a great present! I went thru the application process online, then our agency forwarded everything to their representative in China and now he will deliver this important stack of papers (hopefully tomorrow) to the US Consulate in Guangzhou, China. It takes 10 business days for review, then he goes back for "Article 5" pickup, and this is our LAST step before we wait for travel approval from China! We are getting close! We still estimate that we should be able to leave right around Thanksgiving if all goes well.
