LOA TODAY

We got our LOA, today!!!!  WOW, this is record time...our LOA (Letter of Approval) was issued, 24 hours after the PA or pre-approval!!!!!!!  WOW!!!!

The pre-approval was processed on July 21 but due to the time difference between the US and China, we received word of it on July 22.  The LOA was issued on July 22 and received by our agency today, July 25.  It will be sent overnight and received, in-hand, tomorrow!  W-O-W!!!

For those not familiar, LOA is the Letter of Approval from China.  This is a very important document.  It is the final approval from China, used to process the TA (travel approval)  and signals us to start the USCIS process better known as the I800 form!  The I800 will be used to bring Arabella home and allow her to become a US citizen, once the plane touches US ground. 

Hard to believe....I was in total shock when our agency called today.  When the phone rang and caller ID showed it was the agency, my heart sank because I was worried it was bad news...had no idea the LOA had been issued!!!!  GREAT NEWS!!!

Faith, Love & Happiness
