As of Jan.21 we received our I-800 approval and received our NVC letter today (Jan 29). YEAH!! It usually takes about 2 weeks to pick up our Article 5, however with Chinese New Year on Feb 10, our Article 5 will be picked up on Feb 20. Next we wait for Travel Approval. Hoping that comes about 2 weeks later.

Yesterday we received our LOA (letter of acceptance) which is huge. We waited 62 very long days to get this piece of paper from China. One step closer..finally... Hopefully we shall have our TA (travel approval) within 8 weeks or so.
