LUCKY #13...Immigration APPROVED!

Called our Officer on Friday.  She had us approved on Wednesday 3.12.14!!!!  This is the i800 approval, which is the Petition to Immigration to Classify Izzie as an Immediate Relative.  We are MOVING right along!  We received this hard copy of the i800 in the mail today.  We sent OUR visas Thursday via Fedex and the day before we received a generous donation from a family member to help us pay for our visas.  We are SO truly thankful! 

Guangzhou, China (This will be our home away from home for almost 2 weeks)

Next step to complete is Izzie's Visa (Step #13).  We have to wait for ONE # to be able to do this.  Then, off to Article 5 approval (more Visa/info to china) then after this TRAVEL APPROVAL.

We also made a request for an update and asked some questions.  We are crossing our fingers that it includes more pictures and videos.  We have been very lucky to have such clear pictures and videos this last time. 

We are still RIGHT ON TRACK for May-June travel!!!!

With the finishing up paperwork, getting her room ready, and such, I'm a little behind in pictures...here's our long awaited LOA.  We have a copy of it framed in the house, but the original went back to Holt then on back to China.

Here's our official LOA

 Someone recently asked me about pictures of Izzie's room.  To be honest, I thought I had already posted these, but I guess I hadn't.  We LOVE how it has transformed!

Since I've taken this, there's a even more books!

Here's her bed.  We LOVE it!  Underneath is a book nook.  With little touch lights and storage underneath.

I LOVE the cabbage patch doll that we found for her (Mom got it).  It is born on August 15th (Bob's bday).
