We have our I-600 pre-approval!!! Wow that was a long night of not much sleep but at 3:41am that e-mail we have been waiting for 60 business days today finally came. Thank you to some very helpful people at the USCIS in Washington D.C., like Joanna Ruppel, Department of State's Emily Ballas and a few other governmental places and sub entities that helped us get this done! So we wait for Holt to open in Oregon to gets some dates and get things moving!! Yeah!!!!____________________________________________
UPDATES!!
We now have dates and God has given us the only Christmas gift we will EVER need! WE GET TO LEAVE NEXT FRIDAY! Flights are very tight but Earle at Azumano travel got us over and back. We fly St. Louis - Denver-San Francisco-Seoul-Saigon arriving at 11:58pm on Saturday December 6th. Seems like an Amtrak train schedule, but it was the only way to get the special fare and in country on 12/6. We then are able to come home with our daughter on Saturday 12/20 leaving from Ha Noi. A VERY good day for our family!!!!

Such WONDERFUL NEWS!! So very happy for you - to get to Sophie in time for Christmas - what an answer to prayer! What a relief! I remember that last Dec you had just gotten on the waiting list and at around number 50 on the referral list it seemed so far away.
