a quick update on #2 for those interested

[BillK]

Well it seems that Pittsburgh CIS approved our I-600 for Ben's adoption on 12/31 and sent it to the New Hampshire NVC (National Visa Center) on 1/2 for approval - from there it will go to South Korea so Ben can get his Visa to come home. Most folks are saying about a month (give or take) from the case being logged into NVC's system until we get the travel call. So my wife is now currently stalking the NVC daily to see if it's been entered yet. :)

Also - it seems that my older sister "might" accompany me to Seoul to get Ben - which would be really cool for me (and her). There's a 11 year gap between us but we've always been close and I think it'd be a really neat experience for us to share.

Great news! I am glad things are moving along and it sounds like it's getting so close!

[jawilli4]

That's awesome! I'm so excited for all of you. I'm sending good vibes for efficient processing at the NVC and in South Korea! Oh, and I really hope your sister will be able to travel with you. What a wonderful bonding experience.

I know it's selfish but I really hate seeing the time slip by like it is.

It's not selfish, he's your baby boy, any of us would feel the same. And I'm sure it's getting harder & harder as you SEE the progress but it still seems so far away. Hang in there!
