Wow, what a day! Our i800a approval to our Supplement 3 arrived at last - just a week before it expired! This extends our approval into 2015 and also updates our records to say that Ruth has married and no longer lives at home. That was an exciting find in the mailbox!
A few minutes later I heard from our China case manager that we were Match Reviewed, meaning that the computer system was showing that our LOA had been issued. Ok, NOW I am excited.
This was followed up just a few minutes later with a phone call saying that our hard copy LOA had actually ARRIVED. Oh boy! NOW we are ecstatic! Tonight will be a crazy whirlwind of completing immigration papers so we can get everything back to our agency tomorrow.
We are looking at probably 10 - 12 weeks before travel!
