Exactly One Month Later.....

WooHoo....my I800 was (finally) APPROVED today!!!!!!!!!!!

this PERFECT picture of BB wooping it up came within minutes of the approval notice from USCIS.

The next steps in the process include; an NVC cable, Article 5 and finally TA (TRAVEL APPROVAL).  Right now just going by the averages we should see TA on February 10th.  Then depending on the availability of consulate appointments we head to China.  The average time from TA to actual travel is about 20 days SO we MIGHT be getting on a plane as soon as March 1st!!!!!!

The big unknown and potential spoiler is Chinese New Year...

Pray, pray, pray!
