Visas

Check Back Soon!

Still Waiting

We are still waiting to find out when we will be leaving for China. We mailed all of our paperwork in yesterday. We have applied for our Chinese Visa's and mailed in all of our Travel forms. The best news is that they will now tell Bella Kate that we are on our way to get her...I can only imagine how that converisation is going.

RA

GREAT NEWS EVERYONE!!! We got our RA approval today....53 days since we applied. Which is much faster than we had expected. We are told that we will either travel with the March 27 group or the May 1st group (NO travel in April due to a trade show in Beijing). It will depend on how fast we can get our consulate appointment in China. Keep checking back and I will update as I have more info on travel.

PA

We received our PA today. It just means that on 1.22.08, CCAA in China reviewed our file and sent it through to be approved. Just one more step closer to getting our Bella Kate. Now we are still on the wait for our RA.

LOI

Our LOI was sent to China on 1/10/09. Now the wait begins for our RA (referral approval).
