What does that mean?? That means we received a letter from the National Visa Center. The letter indicates National Visa Center received our I800 and our case has been forwarded to the US Consulate in Guangzhou, China. One step closer to our little sweetie! Now we are finishing our visa applications and will send applications out this week to the courier. It will probably take a couple of weeks to get our passports back with the proper Visa attached. In the meantime we wait a few weeks for the next approval which will be Article 5. Then a few more weeks for travel approval. Then we travel to China! Back in January it sounded like so many approvals, but now we only have two more. Amazing! I am so thankful the process has been moving fast since we saw our little cutie for the first time.   

I spoke with our agency today and it sounds as though travel in July is likely. Wow! We have a lot to prepare in our house in the next couple of months. The office/playroom will become a bedroom again. I will post some pictures once we have it ready.

The latest update indicates cutie can feed herself with a spoon and she can put on short pants.  She is already an independent little girl! Have I commented lately on how Holt is fantastic! We have received so many photos, videos, and information/updates on our little girl. We are very grateful to have this information. 

Here are a few recent pictures that came along with the update. Look at how long her hair is. She certainly looks happy on the motor bike. I'm still trying to convince myself that the helmet was only removed to take the photo.
