January 4th = I-600 Approval

January 4th is our date of approval of petition. However, we didn't get the letter in the mail until Friday, January 8th. Yeah we are one step closer to bringing Isaiah home!

The agency in Korea already had generated a set of documents known as legals. Then we filled our I-600. Our local USCIS office used the legal documents to verify that the child meets their criteria of an orphan and that it's okay for the child to immigrate to the USA. Once they have issued the approval (we have this) they will forward it to the NVC (national visa center) in NH. The NVC logs all the information and sends a hard copy to the embassy in Korea by DHL (this is like fed-ex).

We know that our paperwork has been sent to the National Visa Center, but now we are waiting to be logged in and logged out. We will keep updating our blog as we learn more about our steps completed.
