LOI

We are officially, LOI. This means, Letter of Intent. All our information was sent today. My agency has told me that we should get the pre-approval (which is when we can share her picture publically) within about 2 weeks! Man...waiting is soo hard for an impatient person like me! Two weeks seems sooo long!!!
While we WAIT...we should get our immigration approval this week or next at the latest. Once we receive that, we will get it notorized, certified and then ALL the documents will go to Houston to be authenticated. Once we receive the documents from Houston, we add our pics and passport things and then send it to CCAI (our agency) They will keep it for 9-11 days for translation and then we will be DTC (Dossier to China)
I was told by my agency that since we have a referral, our LID (Log in Date) should be pretty quick...like days to maybe 2 wks. Once we have our LID the wait starts for our LOA (Letter of Acceptance) They say that takes about 2 months (some have had to wait longer, but I'm praying that won't be us!) Then we have to do another immigration paper (800A) and once that is received, we will be boarding a plane 11-14 weeks later! So...
This means that if all goes the way it's supposed to (yeah right!) then we will have travel dates between October and December. We are prayin that it's NOT December bc the flights are ASTRONOMICAL and we don't want to add to the holiday craziness!! So...
Prayers that all goes according to schedule, we get all the money we need in time, and that we travel either Oct or Nov. So..
Next post will prayerfully be that we got our acceptance from Immigration and that we are sending our documents to Houston!!!
One step closer to our Zoey!!!! Praise the Lord!
