Life after LOA...we sent our immigration paperwork to be approved on the 9th of September. We were approved on the 27th. From there we need to be "cabled" All this means is that all of our immigration/visa paperwork is sent to the the Consulate in Guangzhou, China. Once it arrives, we wait 2 weeks for what is called Article 5. The U.S. Consulate issues Article 5 (kind of a U.S. letter of acceptance). Then after Article 5, we will officially be waiting for our TA (Travel approval).
We could be traveling by mid November!! My dream timeline would to leave on November 16th. However, I don't know what will happen. Please pray for me!! I need to trust the Lord's timing. I have been given many opportunities to trust...but I obviously need more practice!!
Hopefully soon I will be able to post that we received our TA....until then keep our family in your prayers!
All of your kiddos are precious! I can't wait to see you guys in China. Are all of you traveling? We are discussing if our little guy is going too. I plan to see TA posted on this blog very soon (:
ReplyDeleteThe end is hard! It used to be apparently that Article 5 was only always 2 weeks, doesn't seem to be the case anymore, ors was around 4 and I know someone else was around 5. Sorry that isn't encouraging. But it seems with China that some things were always predictable, but amybe not anymore. :( Hope TA comes soon and that you get to travel soon!
