NVC Letter

We woke up this morning to an email from the National Visa Center saying that our information has been forwarded to the US Consulate in Guangzhou, China. This is our NVC letter in email form. I learned by snooping around some of the international adoption forums online that people have had varying success with getting their letter emailed to them, which can cut a couple of days off the wait to travel approval. I figured it couldn't hurt to give it a try. Even if our snail mail letter came today, this will save us a day because neither Kevin (who will be attending the Smashing Pumpkins concert tonight...10 years after their "last concert ever") nor I (who will be working late) will be home in time to FedEx our next round of paperwork. So the next step is to send off Max's visa application and accompanying paperwork to our agency who will forward it on to the US Consulate. Once they receive it, we expect about a 2 week wait for Article 5, so probably a 3ish week wait total. Got it?
