Still waiting on the elusive “Travel Approval” from the CCAA. We did receive a call from the travel department of our agency on Friday, confirming a few things with us (who is traveling, how many hotel rooms will we need, our port city, etc.) They expect our TA to show up next week! After that arrives, they will work with the CCAA to make an appointment with the Chinese consulate in Guangzhou. Once that appt. is made, they decide our beginning and end dates of travel. They’re guessing our travel will be from about 2/13-2/28. This is all assuming that TA does come next week. And, another hiccup is that we’re STILL waiting on our re-newed I-171H form after being fingerprinted again on 1/7. Yes, again. Our fingerprints had “expired” so we had to go through all that paperwork again. Randy wonders how our fingerprints could expire? So, our lovely US immigration dept has to approve us to travel to China once again. I think we’ve contributed to the devastation of at least one forest, with all the paperwork we’ve done with this adoption! lol…

Here’s to good news next week…TA and Immigration approval!
