Today we received some very surprising news about the status of our Article 5 paperwork. We had been thinking all along that this paperwork would be dropped of at the US Consulate in China this week, along with Tim and Dawn's paperwork. Well, today I found out that our paperwork had already been dropped off and in fact will be picked up this Friday...as in, 2 days from today! This process takes a standard 2 weeks and I thought all along that we were just starting our 2 week wait when in reality we are almost DONE our 2 week wait! That was the fastest 2 week wait ever...since I didn't even know we were "waiting". So what really happened during these last two weeks...
~a courier in China hand delivered Audra's visa paperwork to the US Consulate in China (this happened on 2-22-13)
~the Consulate reviewed the visa application to make sure it meets the qualifications for an immigrant visa and then signed off that everything is in order for the adoption to be completed
~once this is all done the Consulate issues our Article 5 letter which the courier picks up and sends overnight to Beijing for our travel approval to be issued
p.s. Tim and Dawn's Article 5 paperwork was delivered to the US Consulate this past Monday, 3-4-13. It is scheduled for pick up 3-18-13. So they are just 10 days behind us.
