We Have Legals!!!
Great news! We have legals! Which means, our paperwork is moving along. For those of you not familiar with the crazy process, this means that our acceptance paperwork was been to Korea, and the papers that they make up (the legals) were sent back to our agency, Lifelink and now will be waiting to be approved by DCFS. After that they go to immigration, get approved, and then to the National Visa Center. Then, the National Visa Center makes a visa for Nia and the visa is sent to the embassy in Korea. Finally, a visa interview (I wonder how they interview a baby? :) is scheduled for Nia and shortly after we should receive our travel call. That is why it takes so long to get her here. It is dependent on many different people, several agencies and two countries! Let's hope that there are no bumps in the road. So many little things can arise but thankfully, so far, everything has gone smoothly. The wait to hear about approval from DCFS is approximately 4 to 6 weeks. It has been one week so I'll update when I hear something.
