ADOPTION PROCESS:
The next step in the adoption process happened today:)
Today we received word that our I800 application has been approved. This application was through United States Citizen and Immigration Services (USCIS)
The USCIS will determine, based on the information available to them, if the child meets the definition of a Convention adoptee and appears eligible under U.S. law to enter the United States and reside permanently as an immigrant. USCIS will provisionally approve the Form I-800 if the child qualifies for classification as a Convention adoptee and the proposed adoption or grant of custody will meet Convention requirements.
Today I called and the officer we were assigned said she approved us this morning:) So, I wait another week and then expect the next step. The United States State Department writes a letter with a special seal. We wait for that and then also apply for Judah's visa and those documents then get forwarded to U.S. Central Authority’s Approval For Hague Adoption. Then all those papers are delivered to the Consulate in China and they will approve us for a Consulate date in China and we should get travel approval.
It's confusing but I work toward each step as it comes, as quickly as I can:)
Today we CELEBRATE I800 Approval!
