What we're waiting for now.... I800 Approval

Just to let you know where we are in the process, we overnighted our I800 to USCIS on Thursday, June 10th.  We got a receipt notice on Wednesday, June 16th, saying it had been forwarded to NBC for processing. The I800 is the "Petition to Classify Convention Adoptee as an Immediate Relative." At the same time, we filed an I864W. The purpose of this form is to show that our daughter is exempt from filing another form that shows she will be financially able to support herself, because she is under 18 and will be under our support. Once we get the I800 approval, a letter will be sent to the NVC(not sure what that stands for), and we'll wait a few days for a cable. Once we're "cabled," we get another letter. I think Article 5 comes right after that, and then Travel Approval.

We're anxious to hold our daughter. Please continue to pray that these steps get done quickly.

UPDATE:  We got the receipt notice in the mail yesterday from USCIS, and it was dated June 11th, so we're hoping they actually forwarded it to NBC then.  If not, it was the day we received the text and email on June 16th.
