WE HAVE OFFICIALLY BEEN
EFFECTIVE AUGUST 15, 2011
What are the remaining steps? Within 7 to 10 days after the I-800 approval we will get a letter from the National Visa Center (NVC). Once the I-800 approval and NVC letter arrive our agency will then send them over to China to the Consulate because they need to sign off that everything is in order for the adoption to be completed. This is called the Article 5 letter. The Article 5 takes 2 weeks. Once it's picked up from the Consulate, it will be delivered directly to the CCAA for Travel Approval which takes between 4-6 weeks. We are on the home stretch now!
Yippee! Happy dance going on here now on your behalf!!! I'm glad you explained this next step, as I hadn't thought that far ahead for us yet. Kudos for your blogging skills!
