Well, it is official. The Ministry of Justice (MOJ) has approved our dossier! This is wonderful news.
Now, we wait for Linh's dossier to be sent to Department of Justice and approved. This may take approximately 30-60 days (more or less).
Then certain child documents will be added to our immigration paperwork and submitted to USCIS in Vietnam. This may take 60 working days for the USCIS to investigate her orphan status.
At the same time Linh's dossier is sent to the MOJ for their approval. This approval may take a week or so.
Then a couple of weeks for the processing of the commitment paper- which Holt submits for us.
Then local Department of Justice verifies MOJ approval and requests a meeting of the local People's Committee (PC) in Hanoi. The PC makes their adoption decision, travel approval and schedule the Giving and Receiving date. This is expected to take 2 weeks.
Travel to Vietnam is about 2-3 weeks after the People's Commitee approval.
Potentially, we could be makeing travel plans by the middle to end of November. Wow!
