We got our approved I-800a today and now are sending out the paperwork for the I-800, which means our 11-16 week wait for travel has officially started!!!!! I know this is very confusing to those who have not gone through this process but know you are not alone. It's confusing to us too - lol! Just know that this is one step closer to bringing our little Amy home!
Totally adorable little girl. Can hardly wait to meet her.
ReplyDeleteAll this paper work ... is the I-800 related to Immigration ... when is the US going to process her naturalization papers and provide her with a Social Security number? and will you get her passport sometime just before you return to the US? ~ msf
Yes, the I-800 is part of the immigration process and a new requirement under the Hague convention. Since the adoption will be finalized in China, she should receive her naturalization papers there but I am not sure about the social security number, I wouldn't be surprised if we wait till we get home for that. She will be traveling on a passport with her Chinese name though.
DeleteWe will re-adopt her in the States (not a requiredment) so that she has a US birth certificate with her English name. At that time we will update her passport too.
